Tearing protocol merged for XWayland. Wayland gets closer to being suitable for gaming purposes
(gitlab.freedesktop.org)
I play a lot of FPS and third-person games so input latency is incredibly important to me. Honestly, once you try gaming in a truly low-latency environment (VRR, high refresh rate), it's hard to go back. Every time I try gaming in KDE Wayland on Radeon 680M, I notice mouse input lag and bad frame pacing.
The only Wayland compositor that I know of that doesn't exhibit these issues is the one used on the Steam Deck, but I am guessing there's some special sauce there.
