>>109603555>If you need Xwayland to run X applications on Wayland, you will have to build and install it separately nowuse case for wayland?
>>109603593muh gnome
Call me back when they support hdr (a technology from 10 years ago, by the way)
>>109603722You don't need more than BT.1886 on an OLED.
>>109603722There is no usecase for going beyond sRGB
i haven't used x since 2023
>>109603762The gamma on sRGB sucks.
>>109603555>>B-but they're trying to stifle X11!>XLibretards humiliated once again.
>>109603827You can just use a different gamma depending on lighting conditions, *if* you monitor is capable of displaying high fidelity blacks. CRTs usually operated closer to 2.4-2.6 gamma and looked much better than today's 2.2 gamma LCDs. But higher gammas look awful on LCDs because of their terrible near-black performance.
>>109603555By the time it releases, no DE and no graphics driver will support X anymore.
>>109603555>TearFree works by default on all hardwarewell that just killed the one thing XLibre did properly
Imagine if they'd bother to do all this 15+ years ago, instead of wasting time the past decade and a half writing the trainwreck that is wayland.
>>109603555A bit too late, I don't trust X.org and FreeDesktop the same way I don't trust Microsoft now. We need something new, a clean break from the corporate infested landscape the Linux desktop has become.
>strips legacy codeFreedesktop is run by the NSA and other agencies, with the goal of making old computers obsolete. Same with RedHat.
The excerpt about Xlibre at the bottom of the article is the subtext here. Xorg is becoming a "legacy" project for older computers, drivers and applications. Xlibre isn't trying to be "legacy", it asserts itself as the future of X11. Xlibre will likely backport these changes while continuing to make X11 viable for <current year>.
>>109604427There was a very good reason behind what you think was a waste of time.
>>109603555> TearFree works by default on all hardwareZOMG DID YOU HEAR THAT? You can now use your hardware properly! NECK YOURSELVES ALREADY YOU DIPSHIT IDEALIST TROON RETARDS. I WILL NEVER EVER GOING TO INSTALL GAHNOOOO/TROONIX ON MY DEVICES. EVER. IF YOU WANNA WASTE YOUR 1/4 LIFESPAN IN FRONT OF A FUCKING COMPUTER ITS YOUR MISERABLE LIFE.Remove the consumer twitter screenshot threads and loonix stuff from this board already
>>109603722meme tech no serious person uses
>>109605230better than dealing with windblows
>>109605195>Xlibre will likely backport these changesand break everything in the process, most likely
>>109605422>issues tab has.. ISSUES? what a piece of shit software!
>>109603722>Call me back when they support hdr (a technology from 10 years ago, by the way)Which of the 3 primary colors are you willing to give up to make room for one extra byte of information for hdr?Do we really need blue?
>>109605143Arcan could have been it, but the dev gave up due to AI slop.
>>109605195>>109605422Xlibre has had these changes for a long time since xorg server has had them for many years as well, xorg just never put them in a release
>>109605570Thats why rgb10a2 exists (10-bit rgb, 2-bit alpha), it's a common format. But anyways, that is not really needed for hdr support on x11. X11 can limit hdr to hardware accelerated applications (opengl/vulkan) and hdr metadata either with a window property or a new protocol. In that case it wont have limited colors, opengl/vulkan color format supports everything and is dynamic to support more in the future without any protocol/version update change.
>>109605668Looking at the fossil site they are still working on it. Their desktop environment Durden also works, though it is a bit clunky to use and could use some interface work and a few gui for settings.
>>109603555>Xwayland free of X.org bloatb-based?!
>>109605195>Xlibre will likely backport these changeskek.
>>109605709Xorg can support any color format, including rgba16. But Nvidia doesn’t support rgb10a2 natively.
>>109603846>Greek GNOME faggot has an opinion on fake Twitteri sleep
>>109605668I still don't get what's special about Arcan and not sure about the developer (Is he a retarded leftist who will burn everything the moment some chud wants to work with him?)But Arcan against Xorg/Wayland might be preferable to Xlibre. If I can trust the project I might consider porting the window manager I use (Fluxbox)
>>109604325you mean enable a feature already in the codebase? lol
>>109606561pretty muchthey really didn't have much going for them in the end, huh
