  • With recent drivers and recent enough DEs it is usable to a certain extent. There are some known issues documented in the release notes of each version. Here’s for 535. TL; DR the major blockers are: (1) Variable Refresh Rate doesn’t work for some older cards; (2) GAMMA_LUT is not implemented (no night light) and (3) Nested X11 clients have synchronisation issues that might result in some flickering or dupicate frames, it’s more noticeable on things that refresh slowly, although much better recently. Also (4) NvFBC capture doesn’t work for X11 applications within a Wayland session which might or might not be important for some people.

    I’m using it with Plasma; it’s OK, no major concerns but my setup is pretty basic.





  • Apple will add support for JXL natively on the new macOS/iOS. Adobe suite added support recently. And yet Chrome decided to kill JXL before there was even a chance of gaining enough traction. This effectively kills any chance of widespread adoption of the format, which is a shame because it looks like it has a decent featureset. I really like that you can reencode the same picture with effectively no quality loss.
