GE-Proton11-9 HDR Detection Sparks Debate Over Linux Gaming Compatibility
GE-Proton11-9 introduced automatic HDR detection, which users say simplifies HDR setup across games and displays. The feature has been praised as a major improvement, particularly for Nvidia users, with BurgerBaron calling it less confusing than Windows' AutoHDR. However, some users, like corsicanguppy, express concerns about compatibility with specific setups, such as BNet vChat and World of Warcraft on Nobara44.
The discussion highlights a divide between those who see the HDR detection as a step forward and those who remain skeptical about its effectiveness in certain environments. BurgerBaron argues that mpv HDR is working with version 0.41, showing progress beyond gaming, while corsicanguppy struggles with the learning curve of Linux gaming and seeks guidance on running BNet vChat and WoW.
The community largely agrees that GE-Proton11-9's HDR detection is a significant improvement, but there are clear fault lines regarding its compatibility with specific setups and the broader Linux HDR experience. While some users praise the progress, others remain uncertain about its real-world effectiveness.
