HDR isn't all that great for gaming yet, in my opinion. It takes too much tweaking just to get it working, because apparently games/proton still aren't able to natively pass that metadata to Wayland?
Running every applicable game or all of Steam through Gamescope brings its own problems with how it handles the window, so I end up never using it at all. I just want it to be as simple as it is on Windows, man! 😩
Also, VRR seems to make my screen flicker at an unnoticeably-high-but-still-irritating rate at random whenever I alt+tab, never figured that out yet...

  Try Pinta, Krita, GNOME Drawing, and LazPaint.
  
  I've used Krita on and off for a few years, but it's still a bit more than I'm looking for... I'm definitely gonna give those others a try though, thanks!
