Are the Gnome devs going to be there?
Thanks for sharing
Probably
I certainly hope so.
Please for the love of everything, a full, working color management stack.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Last April was a display/HDR hackfest hosted in the Czech Republic by Red Hat.
Another Linux display hackfest has been announced for this year so upstream stakeholders can collaborate around high dynamic range (HDR) monitor support, color management, variable refresh rate (VRR), and other topics.
Melissa Wen with Igalia shared that they will be hosting this year’s display hackfest in A Coruña, Spain at the consulting firm’s offices.
They hope to better collaborate over future display stack improvements around HDR, VRR, and related topics.
Melissa and Igalia have been working with AMD and Valve in particular a lot on the AMD color management support, enabling HDR use-cases for Valve with the Steam Deck (OLED), and more.
There’s also ongoing work within the GNOME camp around VRR, enabling HDR on the desktop, etc.
The original article contains 165 words, the summary contains 132 words. Saved 20%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The problem is color management.
Apple solved it by taking control over both the display and the software stack that drives it.
Linux developers only have access to half of that.
Are the KDE devs going to be there? I’d love to get HDR and VRR on KDE
Yes, though it’s not exactly relevant to your wishes… KWin has supported VRR for almost three years now, and HDR for 9 months too (not released yet ofc). I’ve been playing all my HDR capable games in HDR mode for the past few months.
For me, this is more about making it more efficient and make it work better by default.
are they having problems?
