What’s the current landscape like for gaming with KDE Wayland? I’ve heard that recently VSync can be disabled and that Wine has better support for Wayland nowadays.

Whats your experience like with this setup?

    Afaik, it will fall back to FIFO. Fortunately, if you’re using a high refresh rate monitor, by the time you reach this point, FIFO will be adding a very small amount of latency. I generally choose to limit my games to my refresh rate when making use of VRR, as it leads to a good combination of low and consistent latency, rather than the spikes you will face when playing with it unlocked.
