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.

like how color profiles are under 'color management' in the system settings you're telling me to use

No, I'm telling you to use the display settings. The color management page is hidden on Wayland starting with Plasma 6.3, because it's misleading and confusing.

the wiki says

The wiki is very outdated, it's about Plasma 5.

tried again, and yeah display settings was where i first tried, and no, 'none', 'icc' with multiple diff profiles, and 'built-in' all change absolutely nothing but the keep changes popup shows up like it worked fine; no errors or anything. then i went into trying with colord and colormgr cli commands like i said before. it does see my monitor under display and resolution and whatnot are correct and do change, just not the color profile.

everything works as it should under x11 session.

regardless, the whole point of my og comment was color management protocol isn't only hdr stuff. even in the significant issues page for kde it says color management and HDR protocol in the bullet point about programs that need accurate color profiling.

Please make a bug report to KWin about that issue then, and attach one of the ICC profiles you tried to the bug report. Maybe something's wrong in KWin's profile parsing and it gets silently ignored.

Yes, nothing wrong with that.
