From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The color-management Wayland extension is enough for entertainment purposes like games and movies. However, it is not enough for professional color management needs including photo editing and print preview.

12 years...

The frog color management protocol is based on the upstream protocol. They used an experimental version to bring the feature to Steam Deck faster.

Though Frog did do a good job with pushing FIFO forward.

I meant more the un-clogging of getting protocols improved in upstream
