About this tag
The wayland compositors tag currently highlights discussion of Linux display configuration and the controls available to graphics compositors. Recent coverage focuses on Linux 7.3’s planned Direct Rendering Manager connector color-format property, which is intended to let user space request RGB or YUV output. AMDGPU is expected to be the first kernel graphics driver to support the setting.
