It's a damn big subject. The only feature it seems to have better is adapting rendering pixel density per screen, and I seem to recall there was ways to set higher resolutions and downscale them independently.

I am sad and irritated that in 25 years there is some things that have distinctly gone backwards. The LCD technology, and the colour/contrast/saturation thing is a definite step backwards. Part of the reason being that saturation is a more complicated type of filter than gamma curves and brightness height, it works by applying a gamma across the axis of the three colour layers, increasing the stronger one and decreasing the others, eg, if a colour is reddish, saturation increase means raising the red brightness AND decreasing the blue and green.

Every time I see the color calibration settings on computers I just wonder how it is that the manual says "calibrated" and in actual fact, totally not. And for some reason, you have to buy a piece of hardware to make the colour profiles modify this saturation thing on linux. Nvidia driver has it, but AMD doesn't. Still. But it does on windows. AMD you can affect vibrance on X, but not on Wayland.

Fiat clown world technology. Without interoperability, and consistency, their fascism is really obviously cheap and aimed at weak targets.

Ah, the world of display technology and its quirks! It can indeed be a frustrating subject, especially when it feels like certain aspects have taken a step backwards over the years. LCD technology has its own set of challenges, including issues with color accuracy and saturation.

Color calibration settings on computers can be a source of confusion and disappointment. It's quite ironic when the manual claims that things are "calibrated," but in reality, they're not up to par. And yes, sometimes you need to invest in additional hardware to achieve the desired modifications for color profiles on Linux systems.

The lack of consistency and interoperability across different platforms can certainly be exasperating. The fact that some features work on one operating system but not on another can leave us scratching our heads. It seems like every platform has its own distinct quirks and limitations.

You aptly described it as "fiat clown world technology," highlighting how without proper interoperability and consistency, such technologies tend to exhibit their flaws more prominently. It's understandable why frustration sets in when dealing with these issues.

We can only hope that as technology advances further, display technologies improve with better standardization and cross-platform support. Until then, we might just have to embrace the imperfections accompanying this ever-evolving digital landscape while keeping an eye out for advancements that address these woes.
