tried again, and yeah display settings was where i first tried, and no, ‘none’, ‘icc’ with multiple diff profiles, and ‘built-in’ all change absolutely nothing but the keep changes popup shows up like it worked fine; no errors or anything. then i went into trying with colord and colormgr cli commands like i said before. it does see my monitor under display and resolution and whatnot are correct and do change, just not the color profile.

everything works as it should under x11 session.

regardless, the whole point of my og comment was color management protocol isn’t only hdr stuff. even in the significant issues page for kde it says color management and HDR protocol in the bullet point about programs that need accurate color profiling.

it seems pretty obvious to me on word meanings alone that ‘color management protocol’ isn’t only for relatively new hdr tech, but instead everything to do with color management, like how color profiles are under ‘color management’ in the system settings you’re telling me to use that the wiki says isn’t ready yet…

from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ICC_profiles

"Wayland

Wayland supports color management through color profiles, but the user interface for managing these profiles is currently not implemented properly. However, you can manually add a color profile through the following steps: Firstly, copy your .icc color profile file to the /usr/share/color/icc/colord/ directory. Run colormgr get-profiles to obtain the available color profiles, and colormgr get-devices to obtain the IDs of the attached devices. To assign a color profile to a device, use the command colormgr device-add-profile Device_ID Profile_ID. The device ID is obtained from the output of colormgr get-devices and the profile ID from colormgr get-profiles. For example, if your device ID is “DP-3” and the profile ID is “icc-5fb87663ba378cadf463ba64d92dced3”, the command would look like: $ colormgr device-add-profile DP-3 icc-5fb87663ba378cadf463ba64d92dced3 With these steps, you can manually manage your color profiles in Wayland until the user interface is fully implemented. Once the ICC profile is added with this method, it will show up and work as expected in system settings like Color Manager in the KDE Plasma settings. "

copy to colord folder, eh?

the part i have trouble with is colormgr shows no devices and nothing happens trying commands to load an icc profile. it’s no big deal, i’ll just use x11 until this gets fixed but others on arch forums and reddit threads has this same issue with kde wayland, and judging by the ‘user interface isn’t ready yet’ i’m guessing it’s just not ready yet.

but sure, colord has nothing to do with it and color management protocol is ONLY for hdr tech.

am i taking crazy pills?

that has nothing to do with metric vs imperial:

“Lumber manufacturers typically cut a tree into the various standard types of dimensional lumber very shortly after the tree is felled. At this point, the 2 x 4 is actually 2 inches x 4 inches, a 2 x 10 is actually 2 inches x 10 inches, etc. But then the newly-sawn (but soaking wet) lumber is then kiln-dried until it reaches the desired moisture level. During this process, it shrinks as the moisture in the wood is removed and the wood cells shrink. Once the drying is complete, the boards are then planed to a standard size. Hence, what started out as a 2 x 4 now measures 1 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches.”

i’m using kde on endeavouros. when using wayland the color profiles section in settings does nothing. you can go pick a profile and click ok but it just doesn’t load it. colord is the daemon that handles color profiles entirely and that’s what this is about.

not just hdr stuff, it’s all color profiling. my old monitor is dark af with wayland because it’s not loading its color profile and i can’t adjust gamma or apply color profiles in settings or with colord like you can in x. i really need this to be able to switch to wayland.

mint is good, pop!os is also good, i use and recommend endeavouros as arch-but-easy. tbh just about any popular distro these days is prolly gonna do fine for the average user.

pop!os reportedly packs in and handles the proprietary nvidia drivers for you, which can be a pain to handle yourself. i haven’t tried it nor do i have nvidia but i see it highly recommended a lot.

don’t know why you’d want to? you may trust your dns server but without dns over https the dns requests themselves are sent plaintext and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. with dns over https the dns requests are encrypted and that encryption would have to be broken for a MITM attacker to see your requests. more security is better and dns over https costs virtually nothing to use in terms of cpu resources.

edit: oh do you mean whole system mullvad VPN? if so, then yeah dns over https doesn’t really help much but it’s also still a case of why bother turning it off when there’s no benefit to it.

seems similar to the set up for systemd snippets, where you can avoid changing default config files for systemd units and instead use a drop in file in that created .d dir to load and overwrite the defaults on boot for whatever specific thing. don’t know anything that uses this for bashrc, tho. most likely harmless, especially if there’s no created bashrc.d yet.

this may help, if you’re using apparmour.

sounds like maaaaybe too little ram and no swap? what is your ram size and do you have any swap or zram enabled? i kinda doubt it because multiple distros should have a swap space or zram on by default on a fresh install but maybe not or you explicitly chose not to and it’s running out of memory.

fuckin yikes

uh, the drama being what it is about people in positions of power blocking efforts to make a welcoming and diverse nixos community, persisting right wing concern trolling, and especially what appears to be maybe a military tech company takeover of nixos, it’s hella understandable people would want to reconsider using this tech on their own hardware and it’s pretty sus to respond to this with ‘ah just drama it’ll blow over’…

being a free software advocate and worried about ‘fracturing’ seems at odds, bud. fracturing is an inherent perk of the system, imho.

lol u mad

obvious troll is obvious.

yeah cuz “bo’el o’ wa’er” is soooo different from the meme lmfao what

using llm ai for tech support is monumentally stupid lmao

i think it’s that only the most desperate people would want to do something as boring as pencil sales.
