Honest question: can you explain how Linux does a worse job with colors?

• cptskippy 10y ago
  Color management was never a primary consideration of the platform and there's no centralized way of dealing with it. Like most things *nix it can be managed if the stars are all in alignment. I think the wikipedia article puts it best. "Historically, color management was not an initial design consideration of the X11 display system on which much of Linux graphics support rests, and thus color managed workflows have been somewhat more challenging to implement on Linux than under OS's such as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X. This situation is now being progressively remedied, however it must be admitted that color management under Linux, while functional, has not yet acquired mature status. Although it is now possible to obtain a very consistent color management workflow under Linux, certain problems still remain" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_color_management https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_color_management
