>No 10bit support

What does that mean?

Probably 10-bit color. Important for photographers, since modern cameras have 10-bit color sensors. GIMP only supports the sRGB color space with 8-bit color, so it doesn't work properly with wide-gamut monitors.

More like 14-bit, but same issue.

Sometimes it is called HDR. 10bit is crucial for colour grading. Photography, cinematography, design...

10 bit per color channel instead of 8.

Yeah, should've been more specific. I know what 10-bit means, was asking for the "no support" bit.
