HDR support is the whole reason for picking Wayland and anyhow I don't see whats so bad about it.

    1. It doesn't work properly (desaturates colors instead of making them appear more saturated)
    2. No support for RTX HDR, so if your video/game doesn't have native HDR support, you're playing it in SDR. Which is a deal-breaker for me because even converted content looks far superior to SDR.

    Listen, HDR support is lacking on any system, even on Windows where Nvidia puts most their efforts on driver support.

    HDR calibration in Windows results in really washed out colors.

    And HDR quality in viedo games varies immensely from title to title, everything from an on/off button to visible image calibration.

    And at any rate HDR should be controlled on video card driver level, like it is for SDR (at least with Nvidia).

    HDR is to me a necessary technology that has become a permanent afterthought.

    I don't have those issues you're having. It's possible you're using the wrong settings on your display (easy mistake to make; proper HDR configuration is difficult, even for enthusiasts), or your display just isn't very good at HDR. So many monitors and TVs are terrible at it.
