From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, though it's not exactly relevant to your wishes... KWin has supported VRR for almost three years now, and HDR for 9 months too (not released yet ofc). I've been playing all my HDR capable games in HDR mode for the past few months.

For me, this is more about making it more efficient and make it work better by default.
