Same here.
Installed the Ubuntu-based Pop OS, used for a few days beside Windows 11 on the same dual-boot PC.

It was OK, but a subjective feeling started to grow that the colours are not so nice as with Windows: a bit washed-out under Linux on my HP U32, otherwise fine display. Especially the human skin was lifeless, lacking red. The contrast also seemed to be worse, shadows a bit too gray.

Then I noticed in Settings / Colour there is a profile called "Automatic - HP U32 4K HDR" is installed and selected.

Clicked on "Add profile" added a plain "Standard Space - sRGB" - and display quality is fine now! Quite similar, perhaps the same as in Windows.
Now it is easy to quickly compare the difference: switch between these colour profiles, open a photo in Image Viewer, and don't have to rely on memory of the same photo under Windows.
