  • Updates to SteamVR to fix their Linux-specific bugs, like broken room view, lighthouse power management/firmware update, inconsistent performance and reprojection issues

    OpenComposite to have a longer list of working games through it

    More polished Wine/Proton Wayland driver

    Implementation of Windows Spatial Audio in Wine

    Better handling of audio sample rates/allowing adjustment of sample rate per device

    Hardware video acceleration in Electron, ex. when screen-sharing on Discord







  • KDE Plasma Wayland, I’m using it for gaming mainly and occasionally for VR.

    Pros:

    • supports DRM leasing mandatory for wired VR headsets
    • supports tearing (also in windowed apps but requires an additional setting) which reduces input latency in games
    • usually all the new fancy features, ex. HDR, appear quickly
    • decent support for fractional scaling (handy on laptops)

    Cons:

    • you might encounter bugs. While Plasma 6 has been a much better experience as opposed to older versions of it, there are still some bugs here and there appearing between the updates. As of this writing thought I can’t recall any bugs on my system.
