From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the current landscape like for gaming with KDE Wayland? I've heard that recently VSync can be disabled and that Wine has better support for Wayland nowadays.

Whats your experience like with this setup?

You can set an option for the compositor ("Reduce latency by allowing screen tearing artifacts in fullscreen windows"), however as far as I know, standard wine including staging has no real Wayland support right now. Everything up to this point is just laying the groundwork and there's no switch or anything to enable the functionality AFAIK. The merge request that enables tearing for xwayland was just merged last week.
