HDR means better contrast and colors if your monitor supports it.

The news in the OP specifically mean that the protocol is finalized, but you still have to wait for it to get implemented.

KDE and Hyprland have it already apparently, as well as the embedded gamescope session. It still needs to be implemented by apps/games as well, though. According to this mpv and games running on recent Proton versions have HDR support.

TL;DR: More colors.

Though that is a gross oversimplification of it.

finally, maybe HDR content will eventually be playable directly on Jellyfin or Firefox soon

Unfortunately, Firefox doesn’t even support HDR on Windows
