I am looking for a way to play HDR content on Linux. From what I understand KDE 6 has experimental support for HDR, but isn’t available on Pop OS 22.04. Apparently Cosmic desktop will support HDR when it’s released, but I don’t know if the experimental version will.

Can anybody help me here? Will I need to change distro?

    My advise would be to use Kodi. Do not run it as an App. Instead start it from tty as that’s the only way it supports HDR.

    I haven’t personally tested this

      Thanks I had no idea that was even an option. I knew framebuffer programs could use HDR, but had no idea Kodi was one of them.
