Two "vk_hdr_layer"s?

Hello! I recently got an HDR monitor and gamescope crashes after a couple of minutes, so I wanted to try out the vk_hdr_layer. However, when I've searched for it in the rpm-ostree repo, it seems to give two responses? vk_hdr_layer : Vulkan layer utilizing work-in-progress versions of the color management/representation protocols. VK_hdr_layer : Vulkan Wayland HDR WSI Layer It looks like the same thing but one thing is capitalized and one isn't. Given it's a duplicate package potentially upheld by different people, this seems to imply that one might be less up-to-date than the other. Which one should I use?

neither. you're approaching this the wrong way, quite possibly because you see the word "layer"

Gamescope crashes and I was not able to find a fix, so I wanted to try vk-hdr-layer since the Arch wiki and Kyle Gospo in te search mentions using vk_hdr_layer, but I don't know which one to install, which is why I am asking.
