Did valve just release the first Linux distro with HDR?

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting, I didnt think the lcd would have supported hdr

[–] explodes@lemmy.one 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Patch notes says "HDR can now be enabled in Display Settings if supported by the external display."

Ohh wow... Is this the first proper Linux HDR implementation?

Hopefully it spreads to desktop too

There was a HDR hackfest earlier this year. A couple of reports from after the event if you're interested https://emersion.fr/blog/2023/hdr-hackfest-wrap-up/ + https://blogs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2023/05/04/vivid-colors-in-brno/. It also got a brief mention in the System76 blog https://blog.system76.com/post/may-flowers-spring-cosmic-showers.

So it's being worked on, and it seems all involved are trying to get it right - it sounds like gamescope on SteamOS doesn't need to worry about solving all the problems that general purpose desktop compositors will have to.

Well, technically they're only about to, as this is the preview version.

  • HDR can now be enabled in Display Settings if supported by the external display.

  • VRR can now be enabled in Display Settings if supported by the USB-C adapter.

Excited for these two.

Excited that we got native controls for undervolting!

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was pretty easy to add those options to the bios before, but it's nice that it's no longer necessary.

I wonder if we'll get all the options, or if people will still have to use the bios script to unlock everything.

[–] Jz5678910@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Not sure if it carried over or if it was included with the update, but I do still have the full suite. I was curious about this myself. The bios got wiped with the update, so I can only assume that it was included.

[–] Tau@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Oh god, I'm so excited!

[–] narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Can't find the voltage offset settings in the BIOS. Where are they?
