Blanketly saying “Project 2025 laid this out” isn’t the most reliable way to cite a source. Can you provide specific citations?

I’m legitimately curious how many half-baked ad-filled second-to-the-punch products will be too many for Microsoft before they finally capitulate.

Don’t forget real, well-tested HDR and VR support on all GPUs out of the box.

I installed Bazzite Nvidia edition and HDR worked fine (after manually configuring gamescope) and then one day the HDR options for my monitor in the display settings panel disappeared and gamescope’s HDR stuff stopped working and I still can’t figure out why.

I gave it a shot and it was stuttering really bad multiple times per second. I’m sure if I worked on it more it would work better but I haven’t looked into it too much yet. That’s why I said “good support” since whatever it is right now is not as good as it could be

HDR support and good VR support.

I suppose another way to say that while also outing myself as a real corporate shill is “better Nvidia support”

Holy shit. I’ve been wondering about this for so long

Sure, you don’t need it but it sure made it easier for me and helped me understand what I was lacking

I believe that’s the flag that worked for me, though STL obscures the exact flag names away

From my understanding, KDE Plasma version 6 using Wayland is the first desktop manager that supports HDR on Linux

Interesting. No, I’m not. I’m curious if you would think the desktop colors on my monitor are washed out when HDR is enabled in display config, though I know that’s not particularly helpful. I’m sorry I don’t know much else. I’m disappointed by the lack of any HDR related tuning built into Bazzite though I don’t know enough about HDR to even go about tweaking the colors.

That’s what I was thinking too. Regretting investing so heavily in Nvidia for sure right now

My guess is that you’re correct about that. I just wasn’t sure since I’m unfamiliar with just how powerful gamescope is, or how much control it has over the hardware

I did enable HDR in the display config. If it’s disabled, all the colors on the desktop are annoyingly saturated. I don’t know if disabling it in the display config will prevent gamescope from using HDR correctly.

Good question, should have been more specific in my post.

I’ll definitely check out Endeavor. A lot of people are suggesting it. I’m far from ready to install a distro without assistance. I struggle hard enough when I have a GUI to work with already lol

I’m surprised I didn’t see any reference to EndeavourOS when I was looking for alternatives to SteamOS, but with how many people here have recommended it I’ll be sure to see if I’m able to work with that

This is a fantastic guide. Thank you so much! I’ll be sure to try this

Yeah I’ve seen notes around the internet about Gamescope. I’ll be sure to look further into that when I get the OS working. Thanks for the tip
