Adding to a growing list of new features to be released in the 3.5 update, a new temperature color option has been added. It lets you set the blue to yellow light range of the screen.

Other additions coming in the 3.5 update include a saturation slider, HDR support for external displays, additional display upscaling options (including Nvidia Image Scaling), improved SMT handling (no more needing to turn SMT off for emulators), updated kernel, and more stuff that I'm probably forgetting.

Sure, if Valve ever releases it.

It is bizarre to me how long it's been in development. I remember rumors that its release was imminent back in March.

~~I read an article just this morning that said it's expected to release with version number 1.6.35 or something, meaning they been patching and updating it ahead of release. That's likely what the delays have been about — to polish it up in advance to avoid the kind of negative press that surrounded Cyberpunk 2077 at release, which came from a studio that had a great deal more goodwill from the community than Bethesda.

HDR is a big deal here, right? I didn’t think HDR was widely available on linux.

HDR is basically unsupported on desktop Linux, though a lot of work has been done recently. Valve meanwhile decided to do their own userspace implementation for their UI and supporting HDR in Proton.
