Drop the "Linux-first" framing across the README and docs site in favor of first-class Linux AND Windows hosts, and surface the Windows IDD-push virtual-display path as a distinct differentiator (punktfunk's own indirect display driver the host pushes frames into — a real virtual display, no physical monitor or dummy plug, even on the secure desktop).

**Status: implemented and shipping — x64-only.** Alongside the Linux host, punktfunk runs as a

via a virtual display — including **HDR10** (10-bit BT.2020 PQ) when your Windows desktop is in HDR

NVIDIA hardware. (The Linux host is 8-bit only — HDR there is blocked upstream.)

via a **virtual display** — including **HDR10** (10-bit BT.2020 PQ) when your Windows desktop is in HDR

mode. punktfunk has its own **indirect display driver (IDD)** that the host pushes finished frames

straight into, so you get a real on-the-fly virtual display with no physical monitor or dummy HDMI

plug — even on the secure desktop (UAC / lock screen). The Windows host is newer and less
