Wayland Has A Color Manager Calibration Protocol In The Works

[starshipeleven]

Is this just calibration, or could it be used to pacify the bores I hear (read?) on Reddit who seem to take great delight in saying they won't switch to a Wayland backend because of the lack of Redshift? Or, to put it another way, could this lead to a Redshift-like solution on Wayland?

I know next to nothing about Redshift, but I'm tired of those comments, and I'd be happy if the end is in sight for this particular criticism of Wayland.

KDE has Night Light feature since 5.12 https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.0.php

"Wayland-only Night Color feature that lets you adjust the screen color temperature to reduce eye strain"

I've never even heard of Redshift until now but there is a similar option in GNOME (at least as implemented in Ubuntu) called Night Light and it works perfectly well with Wayland, so I'm not sure what exactly is the problem.

Wayland is really strong however Linux developers are retarded on its integration.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to achieve. Per-window color space maybe?
