  • I’m running Gnome on Nobara, switching between Wayland and Xorg there’s a noticable difference in the vibrancy of the colors. Xorg and Windows both look fine, it’s specifically under Wayland that everything dulls out. Multiple displays, displayport/hdmi makes no difference.

    That said, this problem doesn’t affect everyone. Makes it much harder to troubleshoot. Color profiles don’t alter anything, I don’t have an HDR display and most of the forums I’ve found regarding this are having issues with HDR.

    I have no idea at this point and limited free time to work on it when Xorg has been working fine. That said, I figured I’d throw it out there in a thread where people are praising Wayland to see if someone knows something I’ve missed. XD


  • Wayland seems to have problems showing colors properly. I was trying to fix this issue myself a couple weeks ago.

    Colors in Xorg and Windows(gross) show properly, Wayland always looks dull and muted in comparison. Switching color profiles didn’t change anything.

    But hey, maybe there’s a fix I haven’t tried yet that works… I sure would hate to be proven wrong! No seriously, if someone has a fix for the dull colors I would likely start using Wayland again.



  • I ended up switching to Gnome because KDE would always feel a bit jank to me. Something about it always feels slightly off, animations not working properly or being choppy like my desktop had an unstable framerate. Might just be it fighting with Nvidia, but I don’t have several hundred bucks lying around to upgrade my card and switch to AMD…

    Kind of odd seeing the massive hate boner the community seems so have for Gnome, at least we have options for desktop environments at all.
