Proton is the best thing that happened to Linux gaming, but sometimes it's still not good enough to get full Windows-like experience. HDR still doesn't work properly, there are no codecs (Atmos, DTS:X) for my surround system, latest nvidia driver broke Microsoft Flight Sim and other games on wayland. The list goes on. And as for Copilot - I'm sure I'll be able to rip it out, just like the other crap MS forcefully pushes on people.

> HDR still doesn't work properly

The Steam Deck OLED has an HDR screen and as far as I can tell it just works.

They use a gamescope[1] session to achieve this. You could potentially do the same on dekstop, but it's painful.

HDR works fine for me on KDE Plasma 6
