Oh, that's a shame, just when I thought KDE was looking quite good. Back to Xorg and Gnome then, because I need accelerated graphics.

A very basic functional test, with NVidia drivers 580.95:

Gnome and Xorg - Minecraft with a heavyish shader gives 60fps, Kerbal Space Program gives 60fps, DaVinci Resolve works

KDE and Wayland - Minecraft with the same shader gives 4fps, KSP gives 2fps, DaVinci Resolve does not work

Gnome and Wayland: Minecraft gives 3fps, KSP gives 3fps, DaVinci Resolve does not work.

So, acceleration is not supported, it seems. Bummer.

Maybe next year Wayland will be relevant.

Angry Linus noises...

They make the only accelerated graphics cards supported on Linux.
That's not true. And of course Wayland has hardware acceleration.
