The same argument you made against crypto can also be made for USD: it only holds value cause people say it does. I rather go with a currency that isn't subject to inflation. Furthermore, if you don't like the energy usage, then don't buy a Proof of Work coin. Buy a Proof of Stake coin instead, like ETH, and rest easy knowing that you're not harming the environment.
But hey, if you want to be poor for the rest of your life, that's on you. I choose to break free from USD so that I actually have a chance at a future.
HDR has been around for over a decade now. Linux devs are just lazy. It is in fact, a critical piece of tech once you get used to it. Like I said, from going from B&W to a color TV. HDR monitors are not expensive. Even the cheapest Walmart brands have HDR now.
