  • Hold on, I think I didn’t explain myself properly.

    I’ve never had any problem, the problem that existed years ago was that you had to manually change things to accomodate UEFI, while installing a Linux distro.

    For example, while installing Ubuntu you had to press a key during the splash screen and boot there. It was a simple fix that you had to do while booting the ISO, but it was something not widely known.

    And by “corrupt the UEFI”, do you really know what you’re talking about?

    Unfortunately not, but I’ve read that this was a thing, since I didn’t want to fry my €1400 laptop I did this simple thing. Later I’ve seen that this problem was fixed, but I’m talking about years ago, 2019 or so.

    HDR means High Dynamic Range. The range of values on an SDR display (Standard Dynamic Range) is 16-235 but the range of values on an HDR display is 0-255, that means that the color “black” on an HDR display is actually black and not “dark-gray”.

    This is dumbed-down because I don’t know the more technical stuff.

    Also it has nothing to do to “color saturation” (wrongly called “vividness”). That’s a dumb marketing thing since you can do the same using every display in this world.
