From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Couldn’t you already do this using the command below? (Under “video”)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#HDR
That uses the experimental of the color management protocol. Now that the protocol is stable, it will be exposed by default. And hopefully we shouldn't need to install additional software, set environmental variables, or pass command line flags.
Maybe it hasn’t been fully implemented yet but when I play HDR videos in MPV right now it is still not working. But running that command works as expected.
It being merged means If you compile it from source it'll work, there hasn't been a release yet, and that release also has to be in your distros repos, so it'll be bit
Makes sense. Thanks for the info!
