Hello to you all. I am new to linux gaming and have a few questions about using HDR on linux. ı am using Bazzite and have a Ryzen 5 7600 + Rtx 4070 Super EVO OC for some background knowledge.
It is my understanding that you have to use Proton GE and add "PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%" as a launch command on steam to use HDR on games. But how about games where you can not do that? A game like Helldivers 2 doesnt launch with Proton GE so I cant use HDR on that game outright? Or Tekken 8 for example, doesnt let me enable hdr and use a dual sense controller, its gotta be one or the other. I cant use HDR on that game either? How about games purchased outside steam? Do I have to add them to steam, add that launch command and use Proton GE exclusively to use HDR on games from Epic Store I play via Heroic Launcher for example?
I guess what I am asking is, if there is a more seamless way to utilize the HDR on my monitor which I paid money for? Its annoying to pay for something and not use it to its full capabilities. I dont remember doing all this crap on my Steam Deck to use HDR so why do I have to do them in my linux desktop?
