I had a longstanding issue with "washed out" colours on the display via HDMI (i3-12100 with Intel 730).
I finally fixed this today by switching desktops to X11 from Wayland, at which point the command xrandr --output HDMI-2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full" FINALLY got the washed out colours to disappear and things look great at last. I guess this is the same as setting the RGB output to full under the Windows Intel control panel, but obviously we don't have one of those on Linux.
I then set a startup command to run this at every log on and all is well!
Question: I noticed a couple of apps were not working or changing from dark mode to light mode now I am on X11. This isn't a big problem as I don't need these apps. Is there anything else to be concerned about having switched to X11?
Do You have any Third-Party Gnome Extensions installed? If yes: Did You check that if there are any Notes for X11/Xorg Support or a lack of Support for it?
For Your Color Thing: Did You checked Settings>Color to set up a Color Profile?
I will have a look through, but 98% of stuff is working fine. I spent hours messing about with colour profiles over the last month or so and got nowhere with it. Only this RGB Full line in the terminal on X11 has fixed it.
I was just wondering if there were any potential downsides/issues to using X11 that's all. Will do a bit of reading
