Blender 5.0 Linux Gets Experimental HDR Support (Wayland/Vulkan)

2025-06-27

Blender 5.0's upcoming Linux release will experimentally support High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays, but only when using Wayland and Vulkan. This means you'll need an HDR monitor, a Wayland desktop environment, and Vulkan acceleration to use it. The feature is currently under testing and its inclusion in the final release is not guaranteed.
