I’m so done with win11, and currently 12 of my 15 machines are linux anyway, but AFAIK HDR (on nvidia gpu) is still impossible? Are you guys all on AMD or just not using hdr for gaming/media? So instead of relying on outdated info, just asking the pros :)
Yes, you seem to be missing actual HDR :-) It looks washed out and desaturated if you’d view SDR content while HDR is enabled. Or the monitor can’t. Or whatever else. I even have problems with jellyfin on windows to get it right. That things needs a separate app to actually work. So HDR’s the only good thing about win11, as it mostly works.
I really wanna finally ditch that horrorshow, but going back to SDR feels like going back from 4K to 480p.
I suggest you strip Windows to the bone (including Defender), dual boot Linux, and delegate Windows as a “HDR media OS”
This is what I do, and it works well. Sufficiently neutered, Windows if really quick and out of the way.
It’s already neutered, but dual-booting really isn’t an option. As long as win remains a bootable option, why even add another one, i see no benefit in running both and wasting time switching regularly. Soon i wouldn’t even switch and ditch HDR :)
