Wayland color management

  1. wayland native desktop does not mean no xwayland. every distro will keep xwayland
  2. bitwig is java and probably running directly with xwayland. hence all plugins work
  3. i am sure if you launch ardour with xwayland all the plugins work out of the box as well.
  4. many plugins use juce. so fixing that would fix a lot of plugin. also all plugins directly using Qt/GTK would probably work out of the box. for plugins that use less widely used gui frame works that can be more tricky.
  5. FreeCAD 1.0.0 works here on gnome 48 wayland session.

This is not an “if”, because Ardour is among the few apps using GTK2 (they vendored it).

All 10 of them? :slight_smile: (30, if you still use Calf and suffer through it)

to me it looks our package at least additionally links the distro gtk copy.

[   20s] Ardour Configuration
[   20s]  * Will build against private GTK dependency stack   : no

I would bet you fedora does the same. but not sure how many people are working on improving gtk2 itself though.

I mean in some way … everything sitting on top of JUCE might actually be good if someone works on fixing wayland support for many plugins.

Hmmm. I use Calf and it causes me no trouble at all. It has much more capability than for the few things I use of it.

I use official binary builds made with vendored GTK. Users of distro-provided builds miss out on fixes and features (think multi-touch support).

are those fixes not in the official tarballs?

Sure, if you don’t mind DSP issues :slight_smile:

Official tarballs of unsupported GTK version? No, I don’t think so
