Linux does HDR. It's *technically" worked for years but none of the big DEs had it working. Now Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora 42 (Gnome) have it working out of the box.

HDR on my MacBook means play the youtube video at full brightness no matter how dim I’ve made the screen.

It’s infuriating.

e.g. Open this in macOS Chrome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq7H6PI4JF8
