I hope it gets worse for you. Maybe both Gnome and Plasma can add face recognition and screw your desktop on purpose.

Well, if it screws my desktop, it screws most of people's desktop too.

Well...because they said HDR would land on Gnome this year, but it didn't.

I think it is not fair to those developers to let these nags go unopposed. This one is obsessed with HDR (or whatever) apparently, and he will be cranky until he gets it.

Don't worry, he gets in Plasma threads you-know-what-for.

6.2.1-1 is even worse, they really reminds me of Windows, even worse than Windows.

It does not get worse, 6.2 works great for me.

Maybe it's just you don't use many of their features.

Yes, it gets worse, there are other bug report on their website.
They do some workarounds to avoid some issue, but it makes more issue for other people.

Are you saying 6.2 actually regressed in HDR support, forcing you to go back?
As usual, we have our Wayland friends to thank for a protocol seemingly designed for 1980: https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-HDR-End-Of-2023

I tried on Windows before. I had a cheap monitor that was supposed to be HDR and it was a painful experience due to color bands. I now believe HDR needs a decent 10-bit color monitor to be bearable without artifacts. That is why I don't turn on HDR even if my monitor says it can handle it. Saving that feature to use if I can buy a "good" monitor.

Right. Cheap monitors don't really do HDR like at all. OLED is the only tech that can handle HDR properly atm.
