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.

Since features aren't important to you, and since you like stability more, then technically you should like Bazzite more, because it's more stable than Mint (at least on paper), being an immutable OS with atomic updates and built-in rollbacks
SteamOS indeed supports HDR but that's only in game mode (ie under a gamescope session), but not in deskrop mode (Wayland). HDR support is coming to KDE Wayland with Plasma 6 early next year, but if you're still on Mint, you'd have to wait a lot longer to get Plasma 6.
I mean, I will try it. First in a virtual machine and if I like it well enough on a laptop too. But I don't know, I used Fedora Silverblue and Kinoite before and my experience wasn't satisfactory.
