#Wayland runs successfully on more things than I think some might realize. For example, I successfully got this #BananaPi set up with #SlackwareARM 15.0, and got my favorite #wlroots compositor, #dwl.

Big thanks to @mozes, the maintainer of Slackware ARM, and all the folks on the LinuxQuestions forum, for putting up with my nonsense regarding getting my Banana Pi to run Slackware ARM and the troubleshooting that came from it. The first BPi had dead SATA, so I bought a new one that works good :)

Its a fact, #HDR on #Linux, its taken 6 years from buying this TV to getting here, congratulations on everyone who worked on color-management-v1 for #Wayland.

This setup shows #wlroots (git) #sway (git) and #mpv

Set:

'output xxx { render_bit_depth 10; hdr off }'

In sway config then toggle using:

'swaymsg output xxx hdr toggle'

Next launch mpv using:

'mpv --target-colorspace-hint "path/file"'

The Phosh 0.53.0 Release

Phosh

wlroots 0.20.0-RC1 just released 16 hours ago and it has "Foreign toplevel support for ext-image-capture-source-v1" (quoting from the changelog). This means that when it's fully out and when Sway has a release that supports it, direct window screenshots using grim will "just work" without git versions.

Here's the same thing without #phosh, so just the #Wayland compositor and the app in light mode so it's a bit easier to see. I hope to add support in #wlroots and #gtk for that once the protocol land.

We're planning a #Phosh contributors meeting in May 2026 and are looking for financial support https://ev.phosh.mobi/blog/pcm-funding-25-11/ . We'll follow up with details on the event as soon as the date is confirmed. #LinuxMobile
