    30-bit color support... Nice!
    I wonder if it handles alpha channel correctly, or if it just does 2-bit alpha (which would look ugly. I remember running Krita on 30-bit mode and some of the icons suddenly looked bad)

      You can't use discover to uninstall itself, not dolphin.

        - Support for 30-bit color in the Plasma X11 session, starting with Plasma 5.24.
        This is like ... 15 years late but so nice to see. Too bad even Google Chrome falls apart when running at this bit depth. Steam also doesn't work. Firefox also had issues, not sure if they are resolved.

            Exactly my thoughts as well, but with Valve spearheading the Linux gaming activities, I hope that a wider audience will push the whole ecosystem to fix these big and little annoyances sooner rather than later.

                The FOSS community needs more people like Nate.

                  Hopefully this can be the start of HDR on Linux. I'm excited!

                    Typical KDE Wayland bug fix be like:

                    On Wayland session something something no longer sometimes crashes when something something.

                    And I had no idea this was the case, also wonder how was that even possible
