hdr really doesnt work on most desktop enviroments. have you tried using gamescope though? you can just install gamescope-session-cachyos that will make it so you can select it from the login manager. gamescope automatically does sdr to hdr conversion which looks really good in most games. what still doesnt really work (for me at least) is games that output native hdr. they look very washed out and way too bright. but imo sdr to hdr, which gets way brighter, is still a win


just block the anime meme communities if they bother you, the point of lemmy is to have a personalised experience
