I don't even check protondb anymore. If it's a single player game with no anticheats involved, I know it'll work.

The only reason I still have a windows Partition, is due to the lack of HDR support on Linux.

    Is HDR just so amazing that it's worth the hassle of using windows though? Games get shinier all the time, it's not really exciting to me anymore. Give it a year and it'll be in anyway, and people will be on to the next randomnhotness that they can't possibly live without that somehow they were fine without the year previous.

    If you're using an actual HDR capable display, HDR is pretty amazing. I know it's weird reading about it online, but the lighting seems so much more "real" when you're playing games on HDR. You actually have to "see it to believe it" as you can't see it from screenshots or from people taking pictures of their displays.

    Windows 11 actually has a calibration tool similar to the ones at the console so you can get good HDR on Windows.

    I see so many people struggling to get HDR working even on Windows I wonder if it's really worth the trouble

    i think it's mostly due to how prevalent fake hdr monitors are

    most people don't understand it's essentially impossible to get hdr without an OLED/microLED or MAYBE VA and keep buying into marketing bullshit, which leads them to having pretty shitty experiences
