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.

Wayland is very infected with redhat's nonsense... ;(
So yeah, Xorg is the only option I see sadly...

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.

The colord backend works for pretty much any desktop and can even be used from the command line:

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

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.

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.
