    I’m gaming pretty much daily, VR and flat, and… I don’t even know what those abbreviations mean. I’m not saying these aren’t important to you and other gamers but also want to suggest that a lot of “features” pushed by the industry are for other casual yet frequent gamers like me totally unimportant.

      I’m on fedora 41 and gaming is almost perfect on it, the final hurdles are some VRR

      Variable Refresh Rate - synchronizing your monitor’s refresh rate with your computer’s output, yielding a potentially smoother image and, for portable gamers, better battery life. This is a key feature of “Freesync” monitors, etc.

      refinements and HDR.

      High Dynamic Range - increase in the variability of light levels achievable in a scene, allowing monitors to better approach the dynamic light levels one would experience IRL (In Real Life). This is a key feature of most new displays, especially higher-end OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes, a type of display technology where pixels are individually lit)

      These are supposedly coming in f42

      Fedora 42 - the 42ndiest version of Fedora.

      so I’d rather not wait god knows how long on Debian for these features to show up. However once the features arrive and I run into issues with F42,

      Fedora 42 - the 42ndiest version of Fedora.

      I’ll consider Deb.

      Not an acronym, but abbreviation for Debian. Or perhaps OP lives in a Hallmark movie and Deb is the girl who has always been by their side, but they’ve never considered as a romantic partner… Until now…
