PSA for distributions that use an older phoc with current phosh:

Starting from Phosh 0.56.0 (planned release date 2026-07-05) components like stevia (and likely phosh) will depend on phoc >= 0.55 (and thus #wlroots 0.20).

While it was always recommended to have the versions of the components of the stack in sync, some distros use phoc as old as 0.44.0 / wlroots 0.17 (from 2024). This already causes various issues for users but the session would at least start.

This won't be the case for 0.56.0 and later versions, unless you revert the changes. For 0.56 this will be rather small changes but it will become more involved over time so please update the compositor.

You can completely ignore this message if phosh, phoc and stevia are the same version.

Let me get this straight: The only reason why I can't mirror my screens on most #wayland compositors is that wlr-output-management does not contain a property for screen mirroring?

Why is this not a feature????

I know wl-mirror exists but it's really not that good. The battery drain is real.

#niri #wlroots #sway

#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"'
