From same link you gave me:
"While there are well established tools and workflows for how to do color management on X11, even X11 has not gained support for HDR. There were plans for it (Alex Goins, DeepColor Visuals), but as far as I know nothing really materialized from them. Right now, the only way to watch HDR content on a HDR monitor in Linux is to use the DRM KMS API directly, in other words, not use any window system, which means not using any desktop environment."
I said earlier "If I need to open VLC in naked Xorg Session - its good enough for me."
So how am I wrong?
I can write a simple script that will open KODI or VLC or whatever in new Xorg session that does not have windows manager. Will it work?

Correct me if I am wrong. In order to use HDR content I don't need specific desktop environment. Same way I don't need environment for OpenGL or Vulkan.
If I need to open VLC in naked Xorg Session - its good enough for me. VLC supposedly supports HDR. So, will I have HDR content on my screen if Screen supports HDR and my Video Card is 5700XT? Something tells me - no.
Wayland is still lacking proper consideration for color management & support for high dynamic range (HDR) imagery. However, a group of renegade devs has begun an effort to fix this situation.

Current desktop environments do not support HDR. Getting consensus in those environments has proved challenging. The driver side is straight forward and largely in place today.

AMD, can we PLEASE have HDR sorted first?
How many game use ray tracing?
How many use HDR?
How many videos can use ray tracing?
How many HDR?
This is frustrating.

Wouldn't mind if someone did it only during movement and then paused it. That way idle would still be low powered and the computer would be quiet instead of fans ramped up.
gpu usage would be fine since it's still not like a complex game environment

AMD doesn’t have tensor cores so it’s hard to see them making anything comparable to DLSS
Additionally, implementing ray-tracing i.e. reflections, refraction and diffusion on an open-source driver is more interesting.

So NVidia is ahead of AMD in RT.
But does VKD3D also work with NVidia for RT?
And will AMD provide DLSS like tech on Linux and will this work with VKD3D?
