It’s Windows 95

Because it was. Only very late right before the project was killed they renamed it

The game optimization is garbage and it sucks on desktop PCs too while also looking like shit.

I have no idea how people keep recommending that distro to beginners and regular end users only based on what the experience is like right after installing it.

It was such a pain daily driving it for couple of months even for experienced user. updates breaking stuff every now and then, packages reverting versions oddly, causing conflicts in plasma packages, when using SteamDeck mode it would auto-install updates on boot without asking and bootlooping for no reason until I disconnect it from the network, plymouth theme changing randomly. Usually to troubleshoot I had to go to their Discord to see what broke this time. I mean, fine, but this is an unstable tinkerer purely community-driven distro, not meant for those who just want easy time dealing with their PCs. Besides, none of that shit happens on just regular plain Arch btw, once setup properly it updates just fine.

EDIT: maybe it's any better in Nobara 41?

I mean, it is dead simple after all

Also Hyprland… Yes, that’s the key - the desktop, not the distribution, though the „stable” distros don't yet ship stuff new enough for this.

Yes, because back when I was learning almost 20 years ago I was able to google terms and read stuff for myself and it was also requirement for posting on forums, yet I was still getting a lot of help from the community. Times has changed it seems, so did the culture. Should I always assume ignorance and lack of interest? And now before I saw your comment I responded more comprehensively anyway, because why not, I'm not mad or anything. Should I take more time to write the response the first time around? Uh maybe idk

Desktop environments or window managers that support Wayland (one of the two displaying systems for Linux, newer one with aim to replace the obsolete one) and already implemented color management protocol in their compositors (programs that compose the image that is being displayed).

In essence, everything that has recent version of Plasma 6 or current version of Hyperland is able to do HDR. Soon there will be new version of GNOME that does that too.

Sooo… not Linux Mint, not Debian stable, not Ubuntu LTS.
