pretty much the title.

    Maybe HDR on linux? I’m fairly clueless about how it all works under the hood, but I’m currently on debian 12 and I’m hoping that by the time 13 comes around it will just work without me needing to do any manual system tweaks. As I understand it, it’s currently semi-working or fully-working in KDE6, but I’m still on KDE5 until debian 13 comes out.

      I’ve recently switched to Fedora KDE running version 6 and HDR looks great. Well worth the wait.

    The Solid protocol specification or anything similar (it doesn’t have to be that specific protocol).

    For example, registering to a website or service actually creates a local secure database/bucket/pod where that website/service organizes/sort/manipulates our data and stores all generated modified data/metadata within our local personnal server, every time we interact with that same external website/service it gets access to the database/bucket previously created. (Ideally) no personnal data should be stored on external servers/machines outside our control and without our explicit consent.

      I hope this works out so much. Tim Berners-Lee even endorsed it! Unfortunately, a lot of these super cool ideas come with the limitation of needing a personal server. I think if we really want this stuff to happen, someone needs to start selling modem/router combos with a home server built in. You could add Solid, local media share, etc. by default, and it would be a great place to install Home Assistant or run a Minecraft server from.

    JPEG-XL (someone already mentioned it as .jxl below) image files.

    • competitive with AVIF compression levels
    • not recycling video compression, so you get benefits like progressive loading
    • JPEG transcoding - can take existing JPEG files (so much of the existing images online) and shrink their size by ~20% with literally no change to the presented image, and this is easily reverable. The amount of data this would shrink without risk of altering the data is HUGE.

    There are a ton of other benefits but those are the three I’m most excited about.

    Wayland, has a bit of compatability issued but xorg is pretty aging ngl.

    VRR that works with multiple monitors connected. Unfortunately that’s an Nvidia driver issue rather than a missing Linux protocol, so could be waiting a while.
