    Phoronix: GNOME 48 Lands HDR Support Bits At The Last Minute

    On Saturday was the GNOME 48 feature freeze and landing during the final moments of this feature development period was new High Dynamic Range (HDR) code for Mutter and the toggling within the GNOME Control Center...

      Guarantee they'll just say Gnome's too woke or something and then go cry about how their unmaintained tools had one extra niche feature that they'll straight up die without.

        They’re out of excuses. All they’re left with are impotent complaints. Kinda like with the systemd vs a hellscape bramble bush of various init scripts debate.

            Who cares, Linux platform is about choice. But obviously, choices has consequences. You either move or don't move, just like any other user/individual.

              Agreed. While some in the “Woke” movement got over their skis, the anti-Woke right wing dingbats with their animalistic and reflexive retorts to whatever they define Woke as …( which most of them can’t even come up with a cogent or even rational definition of what “Woke” actually is ) ….instead have replaced what they think “Woke” is with their own version of Right Wing Woke.

              It’s just which side of Janus’s head you want to listen to. No matter….I’m going to enjoy HDR on GNOME and let the right wingers bay at the moon.

                It's for GNOME. Why I can't just launch one "Wayland" compositor with all features for any desktop I want. Fragmentation here is really a pain. In Xorg I don't care if I run Openbox or KDE or Xfce - all features are there.

                Oh, crap!!! Now, what excuse will have all those people that are against Wayland and insisting on keeping X11/Xorg forever???
                Well, I really need HDR right now... Anyway it's open source, one person is enough to implement it in Xorg. In this case I guess it'll run on all desktops.

                  It's simultaneously both not woke and too woke. Schrodinger's Woke.

                  By default GNOME offers a very conservative and limited setup. No themes, it only sees color in Light and Dark, no system tray, no desktop icons, lots of forced full screen functions. It's a very "my way or the highway setup". However, at the same time it allows the use of Plugins and Tweaks. Those allow the user to liberally change the system in manners that suit them by adding themes and color schemes, adding back icons and system trays, adding new ways to work with the top bar, alternatives to forced full screen functions, and more.

                  The problem is that a lot of murderers and rapists use plugins as their way to infiltrate the system by going around the Repository Border Wall and once they're in they'll delete the pictures of your cats and dogs. When you use Plugins and Tweaks you're not getting the best and brightest programmers that have legally entered GNOME, you're getting programmer criminals that don't have the merit to enter GNOME legally.

                    All joking aside, I just wanted to come back and say I think that's great. As someone who plays games on Linux with an HDR monitor, HDR is one of the things that keeps me exclusively on KDE Wayland these days. Not losing that functionality to try another desktop out is awesome.

                    Those fuckers have a perpetually moving goalpost so we'll find out.
