Quoting: Tuxee

Quoting: LibreTEKDarktable on Wayland is fine, but using it with an AMD gpu is horrible because of the lack of OpenCL support, and using an NVIDIA gpu on Wayland is... yep. And yes, too quickly, if it cant be a drop in replacement for X11 then it's not ready and distros are rushing it.

There is OpenCL support with AMD gpus. OpenCL support can be installed standalone from the AMD repos along the Mesa drivers.

Yea except its a pain and it doesn't work on Davinci Resolve.

Quoting: Tuxee

Quoting: LibreTEK

Quoting: XpanderX11 still works perfectly here.. Multiple different refresh monitors and the likes have not been an issue on X11, just have to sync to highest refresh in order to prevent vsyncs/compositors cap to lowest.
Im quite sure that X11 will be still around quite some time. I personally can't switch before my Desktop Environment of choice starts supporting it fully without any edge case issues..So plenty of time to still roll on X11.

In the same boat as you man; I need an Nvidia GPU for work (DaVinci Resolve, Darktable, etc) and X11 is the only reason I'm able to ditch Windows completely. Wayland is a fantastic thing, sure, but I can't help but feel the bandwagon for it is taking off a little too quickly...

What's the problem with darktable on Wayland? Have been using this combo for years now. And "too quickly"? I mean, this thing has been in the making for 15 f*cking years now...

Hopefully people begin making the switch due to Microsoft's gamble on forcing an AI "copilot" into their desktop OS. Not that I'm against AI but my goodness, that's gonna (as I said before, hopefully make users jump ship.

But all in all, exciting news! Been using Linux for over 10 years now and never thought it'd get to where it's at today.
