I had thought it was about the color profile because with hdr disabled from system settings, enabling the built in color profile desaturates colors quite a bit and does some kind of perceived brightness to luminosity mapping that desaturates bright / dark hdr content even more. Although I don’t think that’s the cause of my problems anymore.

Thanks to your tip about kscreen-doctor, I could try different combinations of hdr / wcg / edid and see how the colors look with different combinations:

I think there must be something wrong with my screen since the hdr reduces saturation more than anything else. Anyways, thanks for the good work

Edit: Tried this with an amd gpu. hdr+wcg works as expected without muted colors. hdr without wcg still significantly desaturates colors, so I guess that’s a monitor bug. Now to figure out gpu passthrough… (Edit 2: It seems to just work??)

Side note, when I turn off hdr only from kscreendoctor the display stays in hdr mode until it turns off and on again, that didn’t happen with nvidia

Edit 3: Found something weirder… Hdr colors are muted on nvidia gpu and seems vibrant with the amd igpu. If I plug the monitor to the motherboard (amd), enable hdr, then unplug and plug it into the nvidia gpu, the colors are still vibrant??? I can disable and enable hdr again and again and they aren’t affected. They’re even fine when hdr is enabled without wcg??? But if I fully turn off the monitor and back on they once again become muted with hdr. Weird ass behavior

You can’t with hdr as I said. Check it yourself if you want

This doesn’t mention the part where if you enable hdr, it sets the color profile to edid without an option to change it, which for my monitor makes everything very desaturated even in comparison to srgb mode (with no color profile)

Wouldn’t a reboot fix it

What would it do?

Edit:piping it no less

I wrote ml. If you didn’t misread, what are you talking about?

But ml is a type of ai. Just because the word makes you think of androids and skynet doesn’t mean that’s the only thing that can be called so. Personally never understood this attempt at limiting the word to that now while ai has been used for lesser computer intelligences for a long time.

Don’t let Linus see that, my memory isn’t that reliable

550 is the stable driver… This only started happening in a new kernel version and iirc from some thread it is a bug in the kernel. If you don’t have the issue already just not updating kernel until this gets fixed would be enough

Simon bolivar is broken

You can check with sudo btrfs subvolume list /

They are different subvolumes in the same filesystem but df doesn’t show subvolumes

What does balance do in that context? As I understand unless the volume spans multiple drives or the files were so numerous and small that metadata was a significant portion of their disk usage, rebalancing will only unallocate data chunks just for them to be allocated again when that space gets used.

Unless the program you’re using is wrongly checking unallocated space instead of free space, it shouldn’t really affect disk usage

Edit: It might help with trim and make the drive faster though. But you’re also putting a bunch of unnecessary wear on it so it might not be worth it

That’s normal on btrfs

If you have snapshots delete some of them. Deleting things won’t get you disk space if there are snapshots of them.

Unless your hardware demands it a distro with a modern de would be much better for those imo

I really wish people stopped recommending mint for any purpose other than reviving a 20 Yr old laptop into a chromebook.

I’m on Wayland

Pretty sure Ubuntu does hands off updates. And neither arch or Ubuntu required me to do any configuration to get Nvidia graphics working aside from the driver selection in the installer

Humans can’t see more than 24 fps anyways
