Yes, there's an addon for Firefox that gives you Netflix 1080p without any downsides, probably just by changing the user agent for Netflix.

Really shows how utterly useless the restrictions are.

No, only when you click on an input field and have it enabled in the system tray

The virtual keyboard is hidden by default, unless you're using touch. You can change that by setting the KWIN_IM_SHOW_ALWAYS=1 environment variable, until there's a proper setting for it

The github repo has tons of issues about the problems caused by the hacks (from the cursor not being recorded, to it not working in Flatpak, not working with virtual displays, to even preventing graphical sessions from starting!) with the suggested solution of just using the remote desktop portal... I don't know what the problem is, but it's not a lack of knowledge.

misconfigured

Unless you did something really stupid and deleted system libraries or something like that, no configuration should cause crashes. Please make a bug report about it at bugs.kde.org. You might not be able to fix it yourself, but crashes are often relatively easy to diagnose and fix for a developer.

In the case of one project in paticular, that being the Sunshine game streaming project

That's a terrible example, because they completely ignore the many many years old standardized APIs (screen casting and remote desktop portals) that they could use, in favor of doing hacky and broken things that require root access instead.

Xwayland doesn't get input in some special way, it uses the exact same Wayland protocols to get input events as native Wayland apps. All claims about it being more complete or anything like that are nonsense.

Krita forces Xwayland because they have some X11 specific code they haven't bothered porting away from, that's all.

You don't need to use steamtinkerlaunch, putting gamescope --hdr-enabled --fullscreen -W width -H height -- %command% into the launch options is enough.

Will the Gnome version of Bazzite work for HDR on an Nvidia GPU, or for that matter any other OS as long as I’m using gamescope to run the game with HDR enabled?

Gamescope can't make a different compositor support HDR. Until Gnome supports HDR and the protocol used by gamescope, it won't work.

Closing the window during an update is supported, you don't have to worry about it. Discover continues running in the background, and shows a notification until the update is complete.

I wouldn't read that much into it. Valve isn't Nintendo, I doubt they'd launch a new Deck without OLED

Yeah, it gets more blown out the bigger the difference between the sdr brighrness setting and the highlights is.

Support for HDR screenshots is hopefully something I can add soon-ish

How are you taking the screenshots? Spectacle might not capture HDR highlights well, but it should look all proper on SDR content
