If you are using Linux for colour critical tasks (i.e. you need your display colour calibrated and profiled), then this is a sign that you may not be using Linux/GNOME for much longer. There is zero prospect of display colour calibration and profiling applications supporting Linux/Wayland in the foreseeable future.
It's not in mainstream awareness, but Wayland is missing at least one critical feature needed by visual content creators like photographers, artists and publishers, and that is Color Management. It's been standard on existing operating systems and desktop graphics systems like MSWindows, OS X and X11 for decades, but Wayland's architecture makes adding this quite difficult, as it appears to cut across many of Waylands founding assumptions about information hiding and security.
