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.

For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.

More Wayland adoption, more protocols and desktop portals, color management and HDR getting closer, even better gaming

NVIDIA getting its shit together maybe?

I think the teams that are responsible for bringing proper HDR support are moving slow and waiting for HDR to get its shit together, as right now it's a poorly standardized dumpster fire of various protocols and definitions and implementations. It's still a bit of a pain in windows and macos despite the fact that official support exists already.

They just broke xwayland on my gpu so i've been forced to return to x11, bit of a backwards move

Gosh, NVIDIA literally pays just one guy to do the entire Linux support

At this stage I suspect its just 3 kids in a trenchcoat.

Given the recent pace of NVK development we probably won't have to rely on that for much longer in 2024.
