HDR on Arch Linux

Hey all,

I recently made the move to Arch Linux, and I am genuinely astounded, how well everything works.

Only one thing does not work, Hunt does not detect when I activate HDR under KDE Plasma, and tells me, that my screen isn't compatible with HDR.

Any idea what I can do?

For me the only way to get hdr in hunt is using Proton-GE and to launch with the following commands

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

Downside is you can’t use the overlay, game recording or invite players

If you have a 9070xt also add PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1

Thank you, I will try that out.

Sadly, everything is overexposed and oversaturated :-(

Might be related to colour management settings in your DE. I use a few config settings related to colour management in Hyprland. If those aren’t set then I get similar results to you

How did you configure them?

The settings are documented in the Hyprland Wiki much depends on the hardware you’re using. Monitor/GPU you should find similar settings in KDE.

I don’t think my config will help you much

Thank you for the pointer, this helps more than enough.
