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.

This is the protocol for HDR content. KDE already ships an experimental version of it.
not just hdr stuff, it's all color profiling. my old monitor is dark af with wayland because it's not loading its color profile and i can't adjust gamma or apply color profiles in settings or with colord like you can in x. i really need this to be able to switch to wayland.
This protocol isn't relevant for your compositor to apply an ICC profile. If you're using KDE Plasma, you can just select it in the settings. I think Sway allows that now too. If you're on Gnome, you'll need to wait.
I may need to look into this, because the colours between my drawing tablet and main monitor are quite different.
If you're on Plasma, setting the color profile to "built-in" might be all you need to make them reasonably match
I'm using Plasma, and I'm having trouble finding where it is. Where would I look for this setting?
It's in the display settings
