From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the Wayland color management protocol might finally be close to merging after four years in discussion.

But also

Going all the way back to January 2020

So really it's been almost 5 years.

Let's hope we can finally get it and move on to any other remaining protocols.

HDR is new ground on Linux, so it’s understandable it’s taking a while. It requires involvement from all over the graphics stack: graphics drivers, mesa, Wayland protocol, protocol needs to be implemented in compositor, apps need to implement the protocol.
