Yup, other compositors might not have this limitation. I might one day switch to sway, but currently staying with Gnome, cause it'd take a couple of days to get used to it I suppose. BTW, gnome-shell supports so called compositor bypass for windows which request it (and games which I play request it via probably libSDL) - more on that here https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm46515148762144 https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-lates... - but I still wonder what kind of visual delay I'm getting with gnome-shell vs e.g. sway. My understanding is that with _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR it should be the same (vs non-compositing window manager), but the devil is in the details. I like gnome-flashback/metacity (non-compositing WM), but there are some strange quirks of it, which make me avoid using it on my 21:9 monitor.
