[ New Package Request ] SwayFX
What are the chances of SwayFX being added to the repo ? I see someone had put in a PR but it was never accepted and also the package is now at version 0.3 whereas the person who put in the PR is still at 0.2 since April. Would it be bad practice for me to put in an updated PR that works as I'd be keen to maintain that package for sure ?

Yeah, but the devs are assholes. Maybe SwayFX, it should be more complete by then

Dear Wayland users, what do you all use?
I use swayfx because I want something closer to hyprland but I don't want to rewrite my config

I can’t get over the font change in Windows 11 task bar time 😫
Switch to Arch Linux with Wayland & https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx. Then add https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar for status bar.

Wayland WM’s openGL versions
You can build Hyprland with its legacyrenderer to enable hardware acceleration on openGL 2.x. Sway and River both fully support openGL 2 as well, I use sway myself. The swayfx project (https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx) is starting to add hyprland-like features and targets openGL 2

So I installed Tumbleweed to try out linux gaming again. I need some suggestions on how to improve my Linux gaming.
there is vkbasalt for image sharpening. i don't know if it'll provide the image you want, but you can configure it and see if it fits your needs.

Color Correct ReShade v1.0
There is a alternative for Linux called vkBasalt. I haven't used it myself, yet, so I don't know how well it works. Your distro may have a package for it.
- Valve, not every game, and especially older games, can enable anti-aliasing. Just give us this checkbox, the one every GPU driver in Windows already has but the Steam Deck doesn't. I'll settle for a launch argument I can add. Come on. My Need For Speed III is so chunky and aliased. :(

Sunshine on steam deck with moonlight on Vita!
In the meantime, you can Generate a LUT yourself and apply it to games using ReShade or vkBasalt, but it doesn't apply to the system as a whole, takes a bit of work to use with each game, and there are certain games that won't work with it at all (rendering OpenGL games through Zink might help, but there are still gaps in its coverage afaik). All that effort is not for the faint of heart, lol.

You can use vkBasalt (without root) to apply sharpening, FXAA, SMAA, LUTs or even ReShade Fx shaders without having to install ReShade for each game. It will work automatically with every game using Vulkan, DXVK and VKD3D, even when using gamescope.
The solution: vkBasalt

Wayland Saturation?
In the ticket there is also someone suggesting vkBasalt as a replacement.
