I have no idea what happened but somehow after updating my computer blue and red seem to have been swapped with each other but only on x11 and not wayland

it seems like wayland is perfectly fine, but the login screen is fucked and screen sharing is currently broken on wayland and not on x11

I would really rather not have to backup my /home/ and reinstall because then I have to set up all my programs and stuff but I have no idea what the problem even is, let alone how to fix it

well I just took a screenshot and when I came back into wayland the colors looked fine so I guess i know the problem is somewhere between drawing the image and sending it to the display(?)

how does this happen. how do i search for this. the only things i can find are 10-20 year old forum posts that arent helpful to me in the slightest and arent even the same issue. please help

@AbsolutePotato color profiles, check your DE settings, there's a red-blue color swap example color profile shipped that you should find and disable.

@cyrus wasn't this, but I was able to get it. Found a post on the linux mint forums from the last 24 hours with the same issue. Turns out it was from a bleeding edge mesa drivers package that apparently is known to cause issues and updated in the past day or so and introduced this problem. iirc i installed it at some point because I was trying to get the newest vulcan extensions for ray tracing working but i dont remember if it ever did.
