HDR high dynamic range support for Linux games has always been an unresolved pain point. Recently, Steam Deck developer Pierre-Loup Griffais of Valve Corporation announced a major improvement, which has initially supported Linux games. HDR is enabled.
Pierre-Loup Griffais said that games such as “Halo: Infinite”, “Deep Rock Galaxy” and “Death Stranding: Director’s Cut” already support HDR under Linux, but there is still a lot of work to be done before the feature can be opened to the majority of players.
In addition, some game adaptation developers have posted actual running diagrams. The HDR of “Death Stranding: Director’s Cut Edition” works well. As can be seen from the diagram, the color parts are all with a brightness greater than 100 nits.
These games are all launched for the Windows platform, but now they can run smoothly on the Linux system, and HDR can also be turned on normally. Valve’s adaptation of Steam Deck is indispensable. The father of Linux, Linus He also said that “the future of the Linux desktop is in Valve Society”.
