Used #DisplayCal with my #ColorMunki spectro to adjust brightness/contrast/RGB of a VA-type HD monitor tonight; happy I can at least do that basic adjustment, it's miraculous that it works thanks to @hub's Flatpak time capsule of that app. I'm hoping the Python3 version eventually takes over and thrives as a project.
I hope #Wayland color mngt will bring robust calibration & ICC profiles mngt in #GNOME someday; colord has been broken for years, and I don't trust my current Xorg-era ICCs either.
Odpaliłem pod Linuksem demo gry Foundation (bardzo chillowy city builder, tyle że ze średniowieczną wioską). Działa bardzo fajnie, nawet na moim niezbyt mocnym sprzęcie, ale wyłącznie na Xorg, a pod Wayland co jakiś czas się wykrzacza z graficznymi babolami, zdarzyło się też całkowite zamrożenie.
Szukanie jakiegoś rozwiązania nie jest łatwe, bo internet jest pełny narzekania na działanie wielu rzeczy na kombo Wayland+Nvida. Wygląda na to, że żeby móc sobie pograć, musiałbym przełączać sesje, albo całkiem powrócić do Xorg :(
Szkoda, bo gra jest naprawdę bardzo przyjemna.
I would like to try #Wayland one day, but my preferred #windowManager, #EXWM, does not yet have an equivalent there 
I'm stuck on #X11 forever.
After using daily sway-wm (#Wayland) for years, I went back i3-wm (#xorg) for about a week, and I miss Wayland so much. For example on Firefox the scroll is so rough (even scrolling just the tab bar is awful!), while on sway was silk smooth.
In case you are wondering, I am back to i3-wm because of #KiCAD, that officially does not support Wayland, and I can confirm it has several nasty problems.
a lot of applications are now giving me wayland protocol errors 
not sure what changed
warning: The Wayland connection experienced a fatal error: Protocol error
(and it's possible none of this is #LibreOffice's fault -- maybe #Wayland could be to blame? It happens most often upon switching back to the window after being somewhere else)
It's that time of the year again! The 2025 X.Org Foundation elections are rapidly approaching, which means its time to renew your membership! Head to https://members.x.org to apply for 2025-2026 membership! #OpenSource #Graphics #Wayland #Mesa3D
https://zamundaaa.github.io/colormanagement/2025/03/31/about-brightness.html by @Zamundaaa is a really nice post about #HDR luminance on #wayland. The corollary is that we have a protocol where the distinction between SDR and HDR content does not exist. It all makes perfect sense to me theoretically, but I am greatly interested in seeing how it will fare in practice with end users.
The reason I am looking into #automation with #gnome / #ubuntu is because I'm building a prototype control panel to further streamline my multi-monitor/multi-workspace workflow.
If it looks blunt, that's because I'm not an artist, design will come later.
Right now I can switch workspaces, activate windows and control media playback.
Works better on #x11 than #wayland though. It's one of the few places where I I am thinking: "This would have been a lot easier in Windows".
A secret niri v25.02 feature! Make your floating windows FLOAT by putting this in your config:
window-rule {
match is-floating=true
baba-is-float true
}
Works in the nix flake too 
So from my experience, #Wayland on Nvidia is about 99.99% good. I'm still having one strange issue with gaming, some games will randomly lock up,where they never did on X11. I did a lot of research on this, and everything points to the way Wayland hands over full screen control to games, and nvidia doesn't do it quote right.
I'm going to stick with Wayland for now, mainly because I'm on fedora 42-beta right now (had the same problems in 41.) and hope drivers fix the issue someday.

I recommend reading this evident provocation.

I am happy with #labwc.
I have configured the titlebar with double left click to iconify and middle click to close, xfce4-panel as vertical #deskbar with intelligent autohide.
I use "Run or Raise" with single key shortcuts for most used applications.
Here is a link to an old implementation request of mine.

Below is the current state of my #FreeBSD desktop environment
Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

@nebucatnetzer slightly off-topic, but I switched away from #GNOME to KDE #Plasma, since GNOME #Wayland doesn't (?) support server-side decorations. I'd have switched to the GNOME #X11 session, but I'd have lost workspace swiping and smooth scrolling.
