In my experience it’s because it’s finicky as fuck and requires very specific (and often more expensive) router models, and even then it still crashes just as much as a proprietary os router.

A choice they are making in favor of a tech cartel instead of what is best for their customers, which is the problem we want addressed

No it doesn’t, because it’s generally monitor manufacturers that add display port, and people who want to run on large tvs are SoL

garuda is one I’ve been playing with recently, and have been very pleased with

It’s built on arch, so not the most beginner friendly base, but they add all my favorite tweaks into the base install. Including fish as the default shell which is more beginner friendly imo

And it’s built and optimized for gaming and comes with all the needed software and drivers pre installed, so even less tinkering required to get it working.

I know this isn’t the answer you want, but consider switching away from compose entirely
A local kubernetes instance handles all the routing for me, and since i was using that anyway podman was legitimately a drop in replacement for docker.

Podman is just the tool that creates the container for me, running it gets handled by something else entirely.

Also, i can run podman compose up just fine, no hyphen needed. https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-compose.1.html
