Sebastian Wick: GNOME 49 Backlight Changes
One of the things I’m working on at Red Bait is HDR support. HDR is inherently linked to luminance (brightness, but ignoring human perception) which makes it an important parameter for us that we would like to be in control of.
One reason is rather stupid. Most external HDR displays refuse to let the user control the luminance in their on-screen-display (OSD) if the display is in HDR mode. Why? Good question. Read my previous blog post.
