First post on lemmy I dont really know how to use the ui sorry if the post ends up looking weird
Why is supporting wayland so important for a distro?
It requires a Qt Toolkit for UI upgrade and developers prefer to not constantly be spending labor on chasing the current version of every dependency when they could be doing more artsy things.
AFAIK Krita 6.0 plans on bringing Wayland support & the upgrade.
I believe it’s mostly drawing tablet support in Qt and in turn porting to Qt6 that’s holding native Wayland builds back.
But Krita works on Wayland session. So what’s the issue?
Works fine with xwayland but that being said some distros are preparing to remove xwayland 😬
Oh really? I didn’t know that. Why would they remove Xwayland? Oh that’s not a good idea. Which distro plans it?
It’s about colors. I’m not an expert, but there is something about professional color stuff that is still in the works to migrate to Wayland.
And of course for Krita it’s quite crucial that colours are right.
