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.

HDR is only experimental on gnome and kde with weston not having an implementation.
I think 10 bit color depth hasn't even been worked on much.
VRR I think is about finished although X11 has it too.
And the Nvidia wayland support is slowly improving although still full of bugs and stability issues.
VRR on X11 doesn’t work with multi screen setup, so it might be broken for a lot of people
With explicit the protocol and the Nvidia patch for it next July, most Nvidia problems will be solved
10 bit color is supported in wlroots(sway) and hyprland, can't speak for other desktops.
