Display issue, color fail

Issues & Assistance Newbies

Hello everyone I just installed Garuda and I am having some issues with display. With the following images I can explain my problem.

So I have an image with Hardware Acceleration turned on.
As you can see, Blues and maybe the others as well look kinda off. You can tell in the blues for sure tho. The color looks more like a purple then a blue. Not sure what to do to fix that problem. Will appreciate any help and thanks in advance

here are my system info

I think it has to do with hardware acceleration but not sure. Only saying that cause when I disable hardware acceleration it looks fine. But then again its on the whole system and I kinda need the hardware acceleration cause there is a certain game that lags terribly without it

How you make this picture?

The picture I took it by just using the normal screenshot tool(spectacle). I did take another picture without using hardware acceleration.

Thank you, because I never had a problem with it and I don't use an HP Notebook I have to pass.

I am almost sure that you can still be helped here.

What did your search on the internet show regarding this problem?

Well I do distro hop a lot and kinda got my problem fixed with some kind of RGB setting using terminal. Not sure what the command was.I've tried Pop Os, Mx Linux,Linux Mint, Fereon Os, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, Fedora and this one of course. The only 2 that hasn't given me problems is Linux Mint and Manjaro. But heard about this distro and wanted to try it out. And it was fine when I ran it thru the USB but I have noticed that with the new updates that's when it starts messing up.

I would test the linux-lts kernel then. Be sure to install the linux-lts-headers as well.

How do we do the headers?

I tried the Lts kernel and that didn't fix my problem @SGS :confused: I mean that's the only problem I have I think. Just the colors.

You can change and adjust colors in kde settings.

So going into System settings> Color Corrections> add profile> and choosing from the already installed ones, I chose "Apple RGB" and that for the most part fixed my problem.
