Preferably the drivers and quirks of the hardware would all be patched upstream so that you don’t need to use a distro with the fixes patched in.

Mac Mini doesn’t come with a keyboard. So unless you’ve owned an iMac or bought a keyboard separately, you won’t have that convenience.
That being said, I haven’t touched the power button on my Mac Mini since I got mine on the 8th.
“Boiling The Ocean” refers to the fact that this is what all the hackfest topics share in common: They’re all very difficult long-term efforts that we expect to still be working on for years before they fully bear fruit. A second, mostly incidental, connotation is that the the ocean (and wider biosphere) are currently being boiled thanks to the climate crisis, and that much of our work has a degrowth or resilience angle (e.g. running on older devices or local-first).

I'm just saying that I think it would be more accurate to group Gnome closer to Windows and KDE than MacOS. Especially if Dash to Dock and Appindicators are enabled, like in Ubuntu.
I could switch between Gnome, KDE, Windows, and most Linux DEs relatively easily, but MacOS's feels quite different to me.
A good place to start is the "Water Cooler" section of the Fedora Discourse: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/fun/8
I think a dev for Factorio discussed this issue on Brodie Robertson’s podcast.
Brand new Mac Mini, just came out today. It has a full year of warranty left.
My HDMI tops out at 144hz, issue still present.
1440p at 170Hz with the DisplayPort. But I also tried going down to 60hz, but in that brief time I did that, that made the flickering issue even more apparent.
I hear that Gnome can struggle on touchscreens due to some GTK bugginess.
Plasma is probably a good bet since it has a dedicated touch friendly mode and is tested on the Steam Deck, which has a touch screen.
There’s third party Appimages. They also had a blog post discussing using Appimages for testing builds. If that gets done, I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer an official build.
