>[..]In my experience, they'll tend to have worse vsync issues and tearing. Thankfully I've been able to avoid that for the most part, but I will say it's certainly easier to avoid with plasma's compositor. >I doubt i3 is actually drawing shit on the screen faster than Plasma with animations off. I'd definitely be interested in a raw speed comparison if there was a good method/benchmark, but I don't think that has ever been my limitation (although if I were running on lower spec hardware everything counts) Plasma certainly has more features, but it's still definitely heavier than i3 (or most (all?) tilingWMs), LXQt, icewm, and the like. On decent hardware there's not a huge point other than preference, but when you've got 2GB of RAM and a 12 year old CPU every bit helps https://i.imgur.com/vZszQFE.png https://i.imgur.com/vZszQFE.png
