(Sorry if this is a duplicate) Does anybody know why krita still doesn't have wayland? AFAIK it uses and QT and should be possible

First post on lemmy I dont really know how to use the ui sorry if the post ends up looking weird
It's about colors. I'm not an expert, but there is something about professional color stuff that is still in the works to migrate to Wayland.
And of course for Krita it's quite crucial that colours are right.
30Could you elaborate what you mean by "doesn't have Wayland"?
Krita works fine on Wayland (I just finished using it to scribble out a comic strip, in fact), but is there something specific you're finding that is broken?
19I think they might be referring to krita using xwayland and not having native Wayland support
12Exactly I forgot to type backend

I believe it's mostly drawing tablet support in Qt and in turn porting to Qt6 that's holding native Wayland builds back.
11It requires a Qt Toolkit for UI upgrade and developers prefer to not constantly be spending labor on chasing the current version of every dependency when they could be doing more artsy things.
AFAIK Krita 6.0 plans on bringing Wayland support & the upgrade.
6(commenting so someone corrects me and so they reply your question) i guess they will work on it when they port it to Qt6? I heard they will be porting Krita eventually but haven't heard when they're going to do it.
I did not know Krita does not have Wayland though, I used to use it with Wayland without any problems whatsoever so not sure what that means
1Why is supporting wayland so important for a distro?
0cuz X is 40 years old and its usage should be avoided (cuz of screen tearing,security reasons etc..)
