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.

It means it can play HDR videos in Wayland environments that support the protocol (Gnome, Plasma) among other color improvements this protocol brings.
So no more dark and dull looking videos?
You still need a HDR-capable screen.
Mmh, okay. So I'll continue re-downloading videos in non-HDR variants. But good to see it implemented, though.
IIRC MPV can be configured to play HDR video as SDR, and you set the .conf things like quality and standard to what you want.
