    I don’t see why anybody cares how long it takes, you can use x.org still, the point of wayland is to create something excellent from the ground up to replace x.org, not to create a product as quickly as possible. X still works, use it. If wayland doesn’t meet your needs yet, wayland will eventually meet your needs.

    and yet “it is not enough for professional color management needs including photo editing and print preview.”

    12 fucking years…

    Ok, now stop doing whatever it is that they’re doing to the cursor layer that makes it feel like garbage (wlroots is especially bad, KDE less so but not as good as either Xorg or Windows, GNOME too but has other cursor issues so…) and then I’ll finally consider daily driving any of this stuff

    They say that as if they’re proud it took them 12 years to get this done.

    The extension enables proper interactions between traditional (sRGB), Wide Color Gamut (WCG), and High Dynamic Range (HDR) image sources and displays once implemented in Wayland compositors and used in applications.

    Linux on the desktop finally catching up with macOS and windows from 2019.

    Wayland was such a bad implementation and execution from the start. Almost 2 decades passed and it’s still not usable. Xorg with all its faults is still much more usable and the architecture, though bad, makes much more sense than what wayland is doing.

    Downvote me all you want.
