Enabling HDR for Steam games
I have been pulling my hair out for several days now trying to figure out how the heck to enable HDR in games (specifically Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima). I read through the release notes for Bazzite 42, and it make it sound as simple as either switching to a Proton version with Wine Wayland or enabling vk_hdr_layer. I have tried both of these, but nothing ever launches with the ability to enable HDR. I have tried Proton 9.0-4 as well as the latest version of Proton GE (9-27). Neither of these Proton versions let me enable HDR in game. I then tried the settings for vk_hdr_layer. I set the registry key in Wine using Protontricks, then I set the launch options "DISPLAY= DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%". When I do this, Steam says the game is running, but it never actually launches.
Solution
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton10-1 Give this a try with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 launch options. Works for me.

GE-Proton rebased on top of Valve's Proton 10 Bleeding Edge
Wine-Wayland has been enabled and patches from upstream wine backported for it. YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Thanks Etaash-...
