There will also be a new Display/HDR HackFest in around 2 weeks where most prominent Devs from different DE and companies like Valve, ADM and Igalia will attend. Hosted by the latter in La Coruña, Spain. https://www.phoronix.com/news/2024-Linux-Display-Hackfest-May
But doesnt KDE and weston already have HDR implementations? Yes but there are patched hacks. The protocol will finally make things clear and standard so it can be implemented by all the different parties.
The protocol in gitlab
I would say it’s a lot more important to content authoring, photography and the like than gaming.
