KDE Begins Shifting Focus To Fixing Bugs For Plasma 5.25

[usta]

I have written a request for the release of 0.19.1 : https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1549
Could you at least thumbs up that issue/request there so maybe we can have at least have recent commits as a release

i am curious about sddm 0.20 too

I'm just curious. From what I have read HDR is not supported on Linux distros. So how does Libreelec get HDR support on devices like the eminent EM7580?

It's not that HDR is impossible on Linux, it's actually supported in the kernel and graphics drivers. It's just the Linux desktop isn't ready to activate that. There was at least one attempt that I know of (by NVIDIA) to bring HDR to Xorg, but they gave up as it breaks too many things and also Xorg is not being actively worked on these days. On Wayland though it's a WIP, but it's still an early stage (some early unstable color management protocol drafts, experimental implementations in Weston).

I've been wondering lately how hard it would be to write a pure wayland replacement for SDDM, when I was looking on ohloh it looked like the codebases for everything but GDM seemed small,

Releases of SDDM can be seen on: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/releases

SDDM really needs regular releases! And Wayland support is a quite an important feature. It's time that SDDM fulfills its promise. The git version seems to work quite well so far.

And here I am wondering when is SDDM 0.20 gonna be released? Its git seems dead... I guess KDE should just switch to GDM for proper wayland support.

Doesn't look dead to me. If that's your definition of dead, then pretty much all software known to mankind is dead.

Isn't that for distros to handle?

I hope that one day they will be able to bring HDR support!
At least for sending the HDR metadata when playing movies to the monitor or TV.
