I hear that, I've been using Windows since '98, and only had Linux on my primary computer for a few weeks. I didn't think I'll be going back even though HDR support is spotty.
I've been using Windows since 3.11. I've been supporting it for a career since 1998 (although almost entirely servers not desktops for the last 23 years). I'm tired of Microsoft's bullshit.
On the other hand, my expertise at resolving their (server) bullshit over the last couple decades sure did pay well. So I guess it wasn't all bad. But these days they can kiss my ass.
HDR support is spotty but holy fuck was it bad when I was using windows
Playing my HDR game? Add a few seconds of loading time while my screen turns off and then on. In game it's fine, but alt-tab, or receive a notification while playing, and the screen has to turn off and on again to display the SDR content, which takes long enough for the notification to be gone anyway. I can't even tell you how good or bad the HDR is on my screen lmao
7800x3D / 7900XTX / Samsung Neo G9 OLED, so really it's not an hardware issue
I don't think I've ever considered playing a game in HDR, Ive only ever used it for movies and tv. Works flawlessly in Wayland on arch kde plasma, but no HDR for x11...
