          Silly question, which component in a Linux install should handle HDR?

            Multimonitor works greatly on gnome or cosmiq.

              KDE is the best for my liking, but the multi-monitor has always been glitchy, especially when coming out of "sleep" or monitor power off. It frequently loses one of the two monitors or detects one of them as a newly plugged in monitor (best as I can tell this is what its doing) and drops the old one. Its annoying but not the end of the world. Its odd because I dont recall the same issues in Gnome with miltiple monitors, but I typically only use gnome a couple of times a year.

                  I like KDE more than the other DEs, but holy hell...the multi-monitor support is so broken. It worked fine until 5.24 or some minor patch level in 5.25, but then it all went to shit. I think they were trying to make it better for certain edge cases, but ended up just making it worse for everyone. Sometime in one of the last minor 5.26 patches my monitors started not forgetting their backgrounds / crashing plasma via the DP ports (Arch install), but the HDMI ports (Fedora 37) still break whenever waking up. It did stop moving my window to "hidden" desktops though which is nice. That was REALLY annoying.

                    It's not the end of the world for you, but I want to make enjoy my hard earned money I use for my multi-monitor setup, it is expensive, and I don't want to have terrible experience with it
