Mental overload is real and I can totally see how DisplayCal may trigger it. But at least learn the verification tab, it’s not that many options. In this age of AI tools you can be helped with breakdowns of UI options that assume prior knowledge, like DisplayCal does.
I tryed the calibrite software to. It measured good with displaycal. I just like more options. There is more than one way to do the same calibration. Getting Windows 11 to load displaycal profile is no problem. Calibrilla is another app to see the gpu lut and see if windows gpu driver loaded it. All parts of windows have to work together and have a open api that others can use. If it is closed things will break or not work for unexplainable reasons.
I was not writeing about the software before. I was just rereading posts and thought my comment was not best. Still not right since you did not know I was talking about the new Windows 11 auto color management. Windows thinking the hardware is correct on all devices is wrong. Some are so cheap they put anything in them and you have to manually read its profile and check it with a meter. It is not what its Edid says it is. Hardware lies about what it is. It is finicky and windows controls it.
I agree at least learn the verification. Displaycal is good for checking profiles to rec 709. HCFR is for white balance and uncolored managed apps.
Not much to worry about for overload. It is just a hobby or job. For a job there is no overload posible. For free though take your time, do it the easy way, have fun. A profile does fix the colors in color manged apps to a under 2 delta e. With delta e 2000 even delta E under 2 is visible in some colors. If the color comparator is right in HCFR. Some delta e over 2 are not noticeable. Might not be good to use for work though.
