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.

What you're describing used to be right under X11, but under Wayland the compositor handles all rendering itself. For Gnome that's mutter, which is also maintained by the gnome project.

...hosting this year's display hackfest... They hope to better collaborate over future display stack improvements around HDR, VRR, and related topics... There's also ongoing work within the GNOME camp around VRR, enabling HDR on the desktop, etc.

Had nothing to do with Gnome

Did you even read it?

Apparently you don’t understand the difference between rendering and a desktop environment. Sad

Mutter, word of advice; next time lookup the topic before you make a massive asshole in a clown costume out of yourself.

@Rustmilian @just_another_person has nothing to do with this gnome however:

Wait, apologies. I thought you were just being snarky, but just realized you're a mastodon user. The image didn't make it across the bridge, so went and found it for us lemmings :
