This is really tangential to the topic, but does anybody know of any decent performance comparisons between Xwayland and plain X? I saw some talks made by Xorg developers (Keith Packard and others) from ~2012 or so, where they speculated that running Xwayland should be more performant than plain X due to less memory copying and less context switches, but could not find actual tests (and am too incompetent to do it myself.)
- shmerl 6y agoI tested The Witcher 3 in the KDE Plasma Wayland session (Wine / XWayalnd, dxvk, radv). I didn't notice any performance degradation or major difference, so I'd say it works very well for games at least. The only gotcha was the need to use 3 backbuffers for Vulkan (in dxvk config), otherwise framerate was capped at monitor refresh rate by KWin.
