> users who want better GPU-bound performance and their games to not freeze and disconnect them when occluded have been forced to use X11/XWayland.

Can confirm. I often will leave na idle game or two running, but with Wayland most of these games wont run, will freeze, if I'm on a different virtual desktop. There's suggestions to shrink it to a really small window size & float it on every desktop, which is well, some kind of workaround.

There's lots of experimental protocols.out there. I'm not sure how notable or exceptional this act is.
