Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg? (lemmy.world)

He's wrong all of this works on Wayland.

I used a 3080 on Wayland and the only thing that didn't work was night light (red tint mode). At this time nvidia-open was marked as not viable for desktop. In 6.7 noveau has gsp support so the open source path has improved rapidly.

It was shortly after their hack that they announced partnership with RedHat / Canonical devs to make their graphics driver better. It's going to have a similar arch to how the AMD drive is under the name nvidia-open. However the proprietary driver does work on Wayland at this point in time.

Night mode doesn't work on Wayland? ๐Ÿ’€

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It didn't at the time on Nvidia specifically. It has since been resolved.

Night mode works great on all three now, Intel, Nvidia, and AMD.

Pretty much everything works on Wayland in general at this point.

wlsunset for wlroots-based compositors works fine, KDE and probably Gnome have their solutions, too

the one built in to plasma does, haven't tried any others

What about redshift?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

No, redshift is an xorg application. It likely will become obsolete.

Night mode is in the compositor now.
