| arcayr | did you by chance have it set to "nixos options" and not "packages" at the top? | 03:33:33 |
 anji | Yeah. Thanks. I also see both but I assumed "Name: gamescope" meant they were aliases. I guess not :) | 03:33:46 |
| anji | My incorrect assumption was that because they both have the same name and the same package.nix it's the same. Nope | 03:34:17 |
| arcayr | i think that's basically a "this package fulfills ... " | 03:34:17 |
| arcayr | like other distros' provides: and such | 03:34:24 |
| arcayr | (e.g., coreutils-rust "provides:" coreutils so that pkgs don't whine about not having coreutils installed) | 03:34:45 |
| anji | * My incorrect assumption was that because they both have the same "Name:" and the same package.nix it's the same. Nope | 03:34:46 |
| anji | Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks again | 03:34:58 |
| anji | By the way I've also had success when running Wayland by using GE-Proton and PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command% as command. This also seems to be the rare combination which makes HDR work on some Proton games. | 14:08:50 |
 niklaskorz | fyi you don't need ENABLE_HDR_WSI with up to date drivers anymore | 14:23:42 |
| niklaskorz | Mesa 25+ (for AMD and Intel) or Nvidia 595+ | 14:24:01 |
| anji | I needed it otherwise tonemapping in several games was wrong. Typical "washed out" colors. On NixOS stable with Plasma. | 14:26:32 |
| niklaskorz | what drivers are you on? | 14:29:30 |
| niklaskorz | if it's Nvidia then likely 580 | 14:29:42 |
| niklaskorz | 26.05 will default to 595 so you can remove the hdr layer then | 14:30:14 |
| niklaskorz | * 26.05 will default to 595 so you can remove the hdr layer when updating in two months | 14:30:44 |
| anji | I'm on AMD with whatever is current on 25.11. Mesa 25.2 or something. | 14:31:31 |
| niklaskorz | hm then you shouldn't need the layer at all | 14:31:53 |
 K900 | NixOS stable may need the layer | 14:32:20 |
| K900 | As it's a fairly old Mesa | 14:32:25 |
| K900 | And also somewhat old Plasma | 14:32:30 |
| K900 | But yes, things should be significantly better on unstable | 14:32:47 |
| K900 | (and you generally want to be running unstable if you're doing gaming anyway) | 14:33:00 |
| niklaskorz | Mesa has the required protocols since 25.1 though 🤔 | 14:33:03 |
| niklaskorz | not sure about Plasma though | 14:33:36 |
| anji | Yeah it's not "out of the box" yet but I can get HDR to work now in all games. With either the commandline above, or gamescope. Which is neat. | 14:34:22 |
| anji | With 26.05 perhaps it will work out of the box? I look forward to trying it out. | 14:35:07 |
| niklaskorz | actually that makes me wonder what happened to the drop VK HDR layer PR | 14:36:05 |
| niklaskorz | ah it's still open | 14:36:54 |
