Sounds kinda like NixOS, although that's not platform-agnostic.
Thanks! I managed to get it working in some games and it seems to output HDR. Sadly it doesn't seem to support fractional scaling (at least with two monitors), and since I use 175% scale that messes it up. Gamescope seems to work pretty well though, both for HDR and for fractional scaling.
How do you run games using Wine Wayland? I tried using the registry edit with Proton-TKG as well as system wine but I haven't gotten it working yet.
I actually do this with NixOS impermanence lol. The things I need are symlinked from a different partition and the stuff I don't need automatically gets wiped clean.
You can also run the game at 1080p and use FSR to upscale it to native resolution, that's what I often do on my 4k monitor.
Are you using native Wine Wayland for HDR? I'd been using Gamescope but I've been having some issues with it recently.
Edit: Turns out the issue was using -F fsr, for some reason that messed stuff up I think
My current MPV config is here (in the NixOS syntax but it should be understandable). The profile is what applies the SDR->HDR effect, only if the video is in SDR.
I have target-peak set to 550 nits which seems okay, but I have control + scroll wheel bound to turn it up and down. If you go to 200 or below it seems to disable the effect, which is good for 2D animated content. EDIT: even with inverse-tone-mapping disabled this still messes up the image. You need to actually disable the inverse-tone-mapping and then set target peak to either auto or something above 200 in order to actually disable it. You can check with --tone-mapping-visualize.
I also generally turn the saturation up to like 15 or 30 or something since it can look washed out. Gamma looks best at 0 generally, but in dark scenes to combat blooming I might turn it up to like 5 or 10. I haven't messed too much with the tone mapping curve but I'm using what the documentation says is recommended so it seems good.
I have a Mini-LED HDR monitor (Acer XV275K P3) and it looks great. It gets super bright with black blacks. I didn't want to risk burn-in, it covers the full 1000 nits that most HDR content expects, and it was only $550 which was quite a steal. There's occasionally a little blooming in dark scenes in movies, but in games it never gets that dark and there's mostly very bright things instead.
I have HDR working on Plasma 6 with an AMD gpu on NixOS, although recently Gamescope/Steam has been a bit bugged. MPV still plays movies perfectly though. I even set up inverse tone mapping so SDR videos get converted into HDR, which looks a bit better than normal SDR imo.
I believe Syncthing isn't on iOS.
I use getemoji.com out of habit but there is some emoji picker that comes with Plasma or is integrated into it I believe.
On System Settings’ Night Light page, the time input fields for manual time mode are no longer a nightmare, because they’ve been replaced with a set of spinboxes (Natalie Clarius, Plasma 6.1)
Oh thank goodness, that page has always felt a bit weird.
On KDE Plasma there's an effect to zoom in the whole screen on your cursor (it may be windows-plus and windows-minus or you may need to set it yourself). I believe Windows has something similar as well as an accessibility feature. I should think that would work when screensharing.
I can play games and watch videos in HDR though
There's a Tab Discarder extension that suspends old tabs so they're stored on the drive rather than ram.
If you can't fix it you could try running the game inside Gamescope, it can help with weird alt+tab issues.
Switched like a year ago or so, not really any difference on my AMD pc and Intel laptop. Now I need wayland for HDR on Plasma 6 so there's no way I could go back personally, as well as the great multi-monitor and fractional scaling handling.
Was into Dogecoin for the meme in high school, haven't touched crypto in years but now I've become too attached to my background to change it.

I was struggling with handling dialogue for a point-and-click game, has anyone tried Ink or other dialogue plugins? I tried both DialogueManager and Bonnie, and while Bonnie seemed nicer they both were kinda clunky.
