The XDR works quite well on the MacBook Air, no journey required. Only annoyance is that it has specific ideas which side is up or down when used vertically, and I always turn it the wrong way, first.

Yes, I should have probably written something about that as well.

Apple vendored displays have a proprietary protocol implemented over USB so that macOS can natively change the brightness and volume.

Lunar can take advantage of that as well as you can see here at `Apple DisplayServices`: https://lunar.fyi/faq#ddc

So if you want to Sync the Macbook brightness to the XDR, or sync from one XDR to another, or just get more hotkeys to control presets and contrast, Lunar can still bring something over XDR's features.

OMG. What will be next? Apple vendored flash cards?
