Above one really looks confusing. I think you need all subpixels to be on to see the pattern.

The image I posted is from here:

Quoting: CyrilI use XFCE. :wink:
But not on RHEL? Meaning other distros aren't removing xorg yet, which could make it an issue.

Quoting: CyrilWhat about people who likes XFCE (like me)? :unsure::happy:
Is there anyone else in the same case?

Doesn't look like they have an ETA yet.

To comment on the above, HDR when it will be supported will only work on Wayland. So it's only a pro argument if you bring it up.

Quoting: tuubiDigital Audio Workstations. And this is pretty funny, seeing as I just read a while back that PreSonus Studio One recently added Linux support and requires Wayland.
Heh? What kind of issues can be missing then? Pipewire can work very well for audio and can be integrated with Wayland compositors properly. Wayland is a display / graphics protocol, what does audio have to do with it anyway?

Quoting: GuestWayland will never be usable for productive software, such as DAWs, since the wayland devs refuse to support the necessary protocols to make them work.
What's DAWs and what protocols are missing?

I've been using Wayland for a couple of years now too, since the time when KDE fixed clipboard issues in the Wayland session.

Two major outliers were Firefox and Wine. Firefox now works with Wayland well and Wine is progressing to enable Wayland driver.

This might be useful, someone published subpixel layout for Steam Deck OLED:

Quoting: Loftyi guess what im trying to understand here is, does changing the subpixel layout in software fix the chromatic abberation as shown in the videos i linked where it not only affects text but actually more obviously to my eye the in game graphics.
I don't know about games, but I think subpixel layout is important for text antialisaing. Since games do antialisaing on a lot of complex forms, I don't think you can have any specific rules related to subpixel layout for that. At least I've never heard of such a thing. Font rendering taking subpixel layout into account is a thing.

Also, the higher is the resolution, the less all this is an issue in general.

Wine 8.21 brings High-DPI scaling and initial Vulkan support for Wayland

I found a way to do it. Set this in registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers\Graphics="x11,wayland"

Then unset DISPLAY variable and try something like regedit.
