It’s as easy as pie too; they show up right there on the boot menu:

I really don't understand why people have this little awareness of usability. Show the freaking date normally! At least add hyphens.

We tried Dolphin and Konsole as Flatpaks for a while, but the user experience was just terrible.

Yeah I'm fairly sympathetic to Flatpak. It's way closer to how software should be installed by users. But I have yet to actually use it successfully. Is it really ready?

YYYYMMDDHHmm is probably one of the most normal date-time formats, only slightly behind current ISO 8601. But adding hyphens for the extended format would definitely make it more readable.

No, it absolutely isn't outside the tech sphere
