So… more importantly, what’s the story with the HDR support? I know there was something with gamescope supporting it. Is this something that’s finally going to be available on a normal Linux desktop?

Works fine in Gamescope. Doesn't work in any desktop environment.

Plasma 6, to be released at the start of next year, will have support for HDR. Not sure about the specifics though

Proper HDR for desktop is still very wip. They had two talks at XDC about what they had to do do to make it work with gamescope:

Kwin has basic support for displaying HDR games in KDE Plasma 6

Work is being done on it by redhat and also the kde team (which is the UI that is on the steam deck). Still early stages, but it's coming soon. More info here
