HDR is like RGB, sometimes cool if done really well but usually just a useless selling point.

You can still profit from the increase in brightness and contrast! Doesn’t make a good HDR screen any cheaper though…

Now that explicit sync has been merged this will be a thing of the past

videos? everything flickers for me on wayland. X.org is literally the only thing keeping me from switching back to windows right now.

I think the Wayland transition will not be without compromises

May I ask why you don't use tiling window managers if you don't like to move windows with the mouse?

Unfortunately, I suspect I’ll end up being forced onto Wayland at some point because the easy-use distros will switch to it, and I’ll just have to get used to moving and resizing my windows manually with the mouse. Over and over. Because that’s secure.

I think you were being sarcastic but it is more secure. Less convenient though.

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for but KDE has nice window rules that can affect all sorts of settings. Placement, size, appearance etc. Lot of options. And you can match them per specific windows or the whole application etc. I use it for few things, mostly to place windows on certain screens and in certain sizes.

I think it's possible to make such a tool for Wayland, but in Wayland stuff like that are completely on the compositor

So, ask the compositor developers to expose the required shit and you can make such a tool

Smart Nvidia users are ex Nvidia users

Actually wait until the next de releases hit repos, all the nvidia problems just got solved

NVidiachan is busy selling GPUS for AI, but she is also working on adding explicit sync

It will make your screen blacker.

But it all seriousness, your display manager might not support Wayland. Try something like ssdm.

HDR makes stuff look really awesome. It's super good for real.

HDR or High Dynamic Range is a way for images/videos/games to take advantage of the increased colour space, brightness and contrast of modern displays. That is, if your medium, your player device/software and your display are HDR capable.

HDR content is usually mastered with a peak brightness of 1000nits or more in mind, while Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content is mastered for 80-100nit screens.

Seems like there's a bunch of solutions out there:

As of 2020, there are several projects that use these methods to provide GUI access to remote computers. The compositor Weston provides an RDP backend. GNOME has a remote desktop server that supports VNC. WayVNC is a VNC server that works with compositors, like Sway, based on the wlroots library. Waypipe works with all Wayland compositors and offers almost-transparent application forwarding, like ssh -X.

Do these not work for your use case?
