A considerable amount of people assume Wayland isn’t particularly suitable for gaming, usually because you can’t turn off the compositor. This post will challenge that assumption and see how the current state of gaming on Wayland is, with a focus on KWin, KDEs compositor.

Thanks for posting this, good read, wayland is the way to go.

lmao this might be my fault, I was looking up Wayland tilling WMs on this sub yesterday, that’s hilarious

I’d like to use wayland for gaming except there still seems to be a steam bug(or maybe plasma bug) that causes the entire steamUI to lock up anytime it has to draw another window like the friend list or any of the toast notifications.

and just realized I necro’d a 1year old post.
