Oh boy, where do I start.
Well first of all, as I already mentioned in the previous response, the Unreal Engine crash has been fixed, which is a huge thing, good job for doing that, I am truly thankful.
However, the performance impact is just unreal.
I’ll attach a video showcasing several games, all running under xwayland, performing poorly.
To be specific, a huge performance downgrade happens as you scale the game resolution up, as shown in the video.
This also applies to Unreal Engine.
Oddly enough, Firefox, Vesktop and CS2 don’t seem to be affected by this.
However, CS2 performs significantly worse compared to 560, as seen in the video, I think.
Another huge thing is Chromium straight up not displaying page content.
I attached a screenshot of YouTube below.
Important thing to mention is that this is completely rng, it sometimes happens and sometimes doesn’t, can’t reliably reproduce it as of rn.
