This is understandable, and honestly xwayland is great, even with fractional scaling now, at the very least on KDE. I think simply relying on xwayland is a very viable solution now for a lot of apps. and it helps work around a lot of issues so that’s always a major plus
Everything I’ve tried works better under Wayland than it did under X :3 Battlefield V, for example (why I play that… who knows :-\ ) has always taken a bunch of struggling with Wine/Proton versions and settings to get it to run at all, and even then it was a crashy glitchy mess. I decided to try it under Wayland just for the hell of it and somehow it’s absolutely flawless now (okay fine, there’s some kinda mouse focus bug I’ve been working around but still). Sooo now I just use Sway all’ the time. It’s great. I made a whole thread just to gush about it. Wayland and xwayland both seem to be doing great! Woo! Cheerness! \ö/ 🥳 et cetera!
Think so, I actually had a different perspective
Games that I run under native x11 stutter to the point where I don’t enjoy playing it anymore (rocket league in my example) but under xwayland the game runs without any issues/stutters

Last time I checked, games that use x11 stutters like hell under xwayland. Has this been fixed?

Do you use sway scaling? I’m having trouble getting steam games to render in the correct/full resolution when using scaling 😔
I do not, sorry :-\ I wish you non-sarcastic good luck getting that sorted, though :3
I haven’t had any stuttering issues myself, so I cant comment on that outside of “works for me”

Is this on KDE or Gnome?
I am using KDE not sure about gnome sadly
Running KDE here under X11 and games play as smooth as room temperature butter.
