https://github.com/Zamundaaa/VK_hdr_layer Enables HDR support for games (via "gamescope"), and programs like "mpv", that use Vulkan's HDR extensions. This is likely to be a temporary solution until Wayland upstream adopts the necessary protocols, however that has been in the works for many years: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14 For the time being, this provides a path for users to experiment with HDR, share feedback and hopefully make progress. Arch provides a similar package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vk-hdr-layer-kwin6-git
