Wayland can handle HDR, and wlroots/sway supports it too.
- Comevius 4y agoThat can't be true, the Wayland people are currently working on a Weston reference implementation before changing the protocol to support HDR. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/467 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/467 The DRM KMS API can be used to pass HDR metadata to the monitor, so it's not impossible to write a software to take advantage of that, but I don't know any that does.
- jchw 4y agoWhat I should have said is Sway properly supports high bit depths and color formats that can support HDR. It still has no protocol for actually negotiating HDR, but I also don’t have HDR displays, so I wouldn’t notice the difference.
