General

  • Fixed the custom performance overlay presets file inheriting the default settings from the steam presets.

I love that they’re driving HDR. ChimeraOS has already pulled it in, the first desktop distro to support it. I think I may finally be ready to drop my last windows box with this

Agreed. Windows 10 getting end of supported in 2025, and HDR and gaming on Linux finally a thing, I’ll no longer be dual booting.

Probably a stupid question… Is HDR only when hooked up to a monitor? The Steam Deck screen isn’t HDR capable right?

Correct, it doesn’t support HDR or VRR for that matter
