This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Linux HDR support is so bad that it makes the entire OS not worth using.
I was using Debian for 4 years but unfortunately I had to stop using it once I stopped being poor because it just cannot run an OLED as its supposed to.
HDR is only supported on AMD cards and has abysmal software integration, even on supported content.. Comparatively, it just works on W11, even on titles that don't support it with HDR.
I hope it can be resolved soon, but as of rn unfortunately its not there yet.
Really weird hill to die on. HDR is nice, but it's not that nice.
The problem lies in the fact that Linux could easily integrate HDR for everything, but NVIDIA. HDMI and MS are gatekeeping these features.
HDR in Wayland using KDE Plasma 6.6 and GNOME 50 is supported on NVIDIA-open-595.58.03 and later.
A lot of specific applications still suck, including Firefox, but HDR is supported on AMD and NVIDIA.
Say no more, fam, I see your problem. Debian is what you run for stability. If you want features, you need a more appropriate distro.
