Now discovered that I could not start Gnome boxes in Wayland. Searched a bit and found that I needed egl-wayland (libnvidia-egl-wayland1) version 1.1.5 + a patch.
Found an Arch package 1.1.5 including the patch at https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinu … kg.tar.zst
Unpacked the package and manually replaced two Devuan Ceres version 1.1.4 files at "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" with the package "/usr/lib/libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1" and "/usr/lib/libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1.1.5". Also chmod and chown the new files to have the same as the replaced files.
Restarted. Launched Gnome boxes.

Yes, color management work in those applications that has built support för color management. But in Gnome on Wayland color management works for the hole environment: The desktop picture, the window frames, themes and everything.

Wayland and Gnome is the only combination (must tell I didn't know how it is on KDE) there you get a completely color managed environment. Even the desktop picture is color managed. Because I use Linux even to photomanagement It's a big step forward. And Wayland works fine.

Well whatever works for you. :0

I'm a Wayland fan myself though so thanks for this guide, I had no idea it could be made to work with NVIDIA hardware. Not that I would buy anything from those bastards

Wayland is very infected with redhat's nonsense... ;(

So yeah, Xorg is the only option I see sadly...

Personally I can't stand Wayland. I am much happier with X running Nouveau drivers - can appreciate it if someone is in to gaming, but I reserve that for the PS4 Pro.

Run Gnome on Wayland with Nvidia drivers on Ceres

dummy@example.com (Magnus) — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 13:16:30 +0000

Install libnvidia-egl-wayland1
Kernel parameters nvidia-drm.modeset=1
Comment out the line with "DRIVER==nvidia" in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
Comment out the line with "WaylandEnable=false" in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf

Restart
Write echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE in a terminal to see if you run x11 or Wayland
