"Game" mode on the steam deck is native wayland. "Desktop" mode, which is just KDE, is still a native X session.I suspect the folks that wrote the articles I googled earlier didn't bother checking game mode separately (since you can't as easily open a terminal in game mode).As for games on a wayland desktop, I think the biggest complaints I've seen mentioned with wayland (some of these are GNOME-specific):* Can't disable vsync (this matters more for online FPSes)* No DRM Leasing (so VR doesn't work)* Limited ability to alter input devices, since they're controlled by    the compositor exclusively with libinput+wayland.-- Chris Irwinemail:   chris at chrisirwin.ca  xmpp:   chris at chrisirwin.ca   web: https://chrisirwin.ca_______________________________________________kwlug-disc mailing listTo unsubscribe, send an email to kwlug-disc-leave at kwlug.orgwith the subject "unsubscribe", or emailkwlug-disc-owner at kwlug.org to contact a human being.
