Comment by Zamundaaa (Xaver) a couple of hours ago. (AKA One of the most prominent KDE and Wayland Dev)

There will also be a new Display/HDR HackFest in around 2 weeks where most prominent Devs from different DE and companies like Valve, ADM and Igalia will attend. Hosted by the latter in La Coruña, Spain. https://www.phoronix.com/news/2024-Linux-Display-Hackfest-May

But doesnt KDE and weston already have HDR implementations? Yes but there are patched hacks. The protocol will finally make things clear and standard so it can be implemented by all the different parties.

The protocol in gitlab

I'm aware of HDR, but what is Game Color (besides the obviousness of the two words, individually)?

~CC~ ~BY-NC-SA~ ~4.0~

Meant to write Color Management, mainly used in gaming (one of the reasons Valve is pushing hard for this)

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

What does that mean ? Games writing color profiles or what?

[-] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 6 months ago

color management is by no means "mainly used" in gaming

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

I would say it’s a lot more important to content authoring, photography and the like than gaming.

Some app needs to implement this. How about Wine in winewayland.drv? :D Firefox is also an excellent candidate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
