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.

Yup, this is huge. Wayland gaming is now a possibility. With Explicit Sync (needed for NVIDIA users) and VRR, there's now no excuse to keep gaming in X11 in both DEs.
it has been possible for quite some time now
In KDE, I agree. I have an AMD video card and I've been gaming in KDE Wayland for quite a while now.
In Gnome too. I've been doing it.
Yes, no VRR (by default anyway) was a mild inconvenience, but it doesn't exactly make games unplayable. It's not like everybody hated gaming before gsync/freesync became widespread.
For me, VRR is crucial as I play a lot of FPS games or else, I don't feel that the mouse is the extension of my hand. That's why I switched from Gnome to KDE.
