@davidrevoy Hey, thought you might want to know about gsetwacom, which is superseding xsetwacom by the main developer for libwacom: https://who-t.blogspot.com/2024/06/goodbye-xsetwacom-hello-gsetwacom.html
It works on GNOME Wayland and X11 sessions. Not on Plasma or anywhere else though.

What kind of scams are Jonah and Privacy Guides promoting?
@halla @raghukamath @davidrevoy @purusov Thanks for the clarification!
I noticed it uses the kde.org domain instead of the krita.org domain for the Flatpak, which is my bad. The fact that Krita is part of KDE and KDE chose to package all the software under their umbrella to Flatpak and verify them makes things a little...weird, with Verification.
The Flatpak uses quite a number of patches, but I don't know if it's *all* of them: https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.krita/tree/master/patches
@purusov @davidrevoy I'm only offering my excitement about it being close.
Stay on X11 now, and when CM + the ICC profile portal are merged and compositors have implemented them, creatives (whether they be artists, video editors, photographers, or anyone who deals with color) can use Wayland.
@raghukamath @davidrevoy Verification on Flathub needs to be done by someone who owns the krita.org domain: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-users/verification
So it seems someone who owns that domain trusted the maintainers of the Flatpak package enough to mark the package as verified.
Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

@davidrevoy Thanks for the detailed post!
What's wrong with the Flatpak package for Krita?
It's Verified on Flathub, which means it's officially maintained by Krita's developers. It's linked as a download option on the Krita site. Though it says "Maintained by the community," which is strange.
The Color Management & HDR Wayland protocol seems close. They seem to be waiting for implementations. See this Mesa draft MR from last month: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/28762
& Weston: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/467
