@kneops thank you so very much for posting this in the first instant, truely two years having this problem wow you are patient,
mine started about only six months ago and well I had the idea it was something to do with my new tower set-up,
bought a new coffeelake tower Btw very powerful anyway needed later model kernel for the coffelake - oldish Debian kernel was tearing the graphics on desktop plus other problems, hopped distros to Netrunner Rolling alot better no problems with desktop now.
that's when I noticed this Image Difference and concluded it must be my new setup
because no other person posting similar situation,
again thank you for posting,
that's why I was using a workaround to get the images looking reasonable yes I know not a fix just a workaround.
' Should I conclude that Linux still doesn't have good color management??? ' __ I don't know about that, that is more a Question for @rich2005 and @ofnuts, they are the knowledge bank not me.
this part
'I have been struggling with this for the last two years or so, especially when starting the use Darktable too, and exporting images (both in sRGB and Adobe RGB) for print and web'
Thought__Question ?
The 'image precision options' is it possible the higher the bitrate the more incompatible with Gwen the image ? UMM
Also the perceptual Vs linear options could these options be involved, aren't they newish the extra options ? UMM.
New things (options)can cause problems that no-one could had ever foreseen.
Linux is freedom of and having that freedom allows us to learn ! (mistakes are not fails mistakes are lessons) that's how I see it,
some smart person Quoted " If you don't fail you won't learn" no copyright that I know of. heehee
This morning decided that over the next few days, this is the plan
sounds a bit silly or over the top (anyone thoughts ahhg I'll just do it)
time permitting, other things todo,
- get all the image viewers I can find in pamac or octopi ( that's the silly part)
- get the troubled images and run that select few in all the image viewers
- make a list of results and post it here in a few days time,
- keep the best of the viewer's for my use, keep Gwenview for comparison, and if Gwen still displays washed out images or not anymore in many months time and later.
- un-install the image viewers not wanted,
This weekend looks good for the viewers comparisons Raining and more rain expected next few days, very nice,
