General information:

  • I’m using EndeavourOS, with KDE Plasma. I am very happy with my setup as it is, but since Wayland is “the future” I’m thinking of getting a move on.
  • It came default with just X11, no Wayland. I know KDE supports Wayland but have no idea how to switch.
  • I play a lot of games, I read somewhere that Wayland has worse gaming performance. I don’t know if true or not, though.
  • … I have an AMD GPU. I’m not enough of a masochist to try and use Linux with NVidia.
  • … BUT I’ve been thinking of upgrading to an Intel Arc GPU in the nearish future.

Let me know if there is any, more important, specific info I should be giving.

EDIT: I have changed. … I felt no difference, but I suppose that is the whole point. Thank you to everyone who answered.

    Intel are doing great improvements with their drivers, at least i always hear about it in phoronix, and it’s opensource, so no problem like nvidia, but they’re a bit new, so only testing i guess

    you can try, see how it feels, it’s not like you are changing distros, you can just select in SDDM, and if it give problems just log out and select x11
