Well, the macOS display server just had the right technologies put into it at a very early age. It’s based on work from Adobe and movie studios, and as a consequence it has scaling and colour management which is to die for.
Wayland started from such a different approach. They started not with a look to the future, but with a look to disconnect from the past with no regard for the future. They were more worried about removing old things like hardware sprites and built in fonts than they were worried about proper display scaling and things like that.
I mean it looks like it’s gonna get there. They’re approaching these things. Steam Deck has amazing HDR from everything I hear. But the day this is fixed is not today, and I can’t use it anymore. :(
yeah, it’s a shame the way the Wayland devs approached it in the beginning. I wish I hadn’t been spoiled by linux desktop environments because it would be significantly easier to just go back to windows and get properly functional display software. I really want to because I screen share a lot and that’s a massive inconvenience on wayland, or just on linux in general, but then I have to give up the desktop environment I’ve gotten used to.
