    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.

    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.

    Could you elaborate what you mean by “doesn’t have Wayland”?

    Krita works fine on Wayland (I just finished using it to scribble out a comic strip, in fact), but is there something specific you’re finding that is broken?

      I think they might be referring to krita using xwayland and not having native Wayland support

      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?

          they don’t. some distros like fedora aren’t shipping xorg sessions by default anymore. that has nothing to do with xwayland. op is misinformed.

    Why is supporting wayland so important for a distro?

      cuz X is 40 years old and its usage should be avoided (cuz of screen tearing,security reasons etc…)
