i'm still waiting for hdr support. supposedly it's working now in plasma 6 with nvidia drivers. which is great, but also, lmao if i'm going to use a pre-release window manager

I'm wanting to get one of those 32-inch 4k oled monitors that are supposed to come out this year. It'll be my first hdr computer monitor. Can't wait to see what issues I run into.
