I don't run Pi-hole but quickly peeking into the container (docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh pihole/pihole:latest) the folder and files belong to root with the permissions being 755 for the folder and 644 for the files.
chmod 700 most likely killed Pi-hole because a service that is not running as root will be accessing those config files and you removed their read access.
Also, I'm with the guys above. Never chmod 777 anything, period. In 99.9% of cases there's a better way.
They have a different architecture so it comes down to preference.
Docker runs a daemon that you talk to to deploy your services. podman does not have a daemon, you either directly use the podman command to deploy services or use systemd to integrate them into your system.
steam sells accessibility and DRM, personally i see this as a bad thing.
So we can agree that GOG does not objectively give you more value for your money as OP implied.
Steam is only DRM if Steamworks is required for the game to launch, e.g. I can copy my Baldur's Gate 3 files to a different PC and launch them without Steam.
It's up to the developer how they behave if Steam is not present.

Gog is objectively giving you more value for your money
What value do they give you exactly?
The games are mostly priced the same, they don't have integrated modding support, no input remapping, no remote play, no in-home streaming, no steamcmd for server operators, no VR client, no Linux client and no Steam Deck support.
The only thing they do give you is no DRM, but nothing stops a developer from adding a DRM-free game on Steam.
I just built the Vulkan layer and gamescope from git and then started my native Steam installation normally. Then I just set the launch parameters to ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --nested-refresh 165 --fullscreen --steam --output-width 3440 --nested-width 3440 --output-height 1440 --nested-height 1440 -- env ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%.
Works pretty well so far but I'm on AMD.
Which monitor do you have? ABL is unfortunately fairly aggressive on OLED screens, e.g. my screen only reaches about 250 nit with a 100% white window, which is only 10-20 nit brighter than the maximum for SDR content.
I can't speak for Star Wars but Dune is pretty bright so you might just run into your monitors ABL very easily. You can test by making mpv really small against a black background and then maximizing. If the image gets dimmer you're getting limited by ABL.
You might want to grab a 4k remux for something like The Greatest Showman or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to benchmark with. They have a lot of colorful but dark scenes to really bring out the HDR highlights.
I'm also using Plasma 6 to play games and watch movies in HDR and everything looks as expected.
What monitor/TV do you use? Did you install the necessary Vulkan layers? Do you use mpv with the correct parameters? Which movies/scenes?
You can try turning the SDR brightness all the way down and back up. If the brightness of mpv changes, you're not running in HDR.
HTTP/3 is UDP as well but only on port 443.
Nope, release target is mid-April currently.
Starting with 10.9 you can enable segment deletion so files are cleaned up while still transcoding.
Is that a real Deezloader website? That website looks shady af.
