I wrote an article on my switch to the gaming focused Linux distro, coming from Windows 11 and thought you all might enjoy the journey.

Depends on your hardware age, and whether or not you use proprietary drivers. Some distros handle it auto-magically for you so you don’t really need to do anything and it just works.
For the time being, nothing on PC actually requires this, or uses it optionally for any perceived I provment in fidelity. Its super cool tech though, looking forward to this in the future.
Fair point, it is actively being worked on by a lot of big organizations and developers, so it will get better. Last I checked Window’s support of it isn’t incredible, but its better than the nothing Linux has at the moment.
Hdr has never been a problem for me because I use a cheap monitor from 2009
The wall most people have is that they dont have a capable monitor to use it well (miniled with fald or oled) both fairly expensive.
There are tips and tricks to get some applications working with auto hdr that was never designed to work with HDR (e.g you can get switch emulation with HDR with a name hack)
Nvidia drivers are alright these days but otherwise yeah. Most games are playable on Linux at this point with the huge exception of most online games with any anti cheat.

or let’s multibox this game that works perfectly fine and … oh no, a compatibility layer actually adds overhead and my CPU is struggling.
at least I can dual boot with the bios menu instead of infecting my Linux install.
HDR is the big one for me. Been waiting so long for that to come. Even for just video play back.
