I keep trying it (coming from EXWM) but I get lots of lag, stutters, and poor fractional scaling. I'm not sure how much of that is "GTK under wayland", Emacs's PGTK build (known to have lag/rendering issues), AMD kernel drivers (?), or EWM itself; but it's not yet a replacement for EXWM in my experience.

Hi, ewm author here.

Lagging is super annoying, and regretfully it comes mostly from very slow pgtk cairo implementation.

I'm getting the Skia branch to a usable shape this week. A bit too early to say, but the approach looks promising. Running it for almost a week with a 4k 120hz external monitor, no issues noticed so far.
