I abandoned Windows for a variety of reasons and while I find Linux better in many ways, the graphics and compositing situation is a bummer. To add another example, I was trying to do a screen recording the other day and it was dropping frames like crazy. I don't know who to blame, whether it's Gnome, or Wayland, or OBS, or Nvidia. But the point is my confidence in the entire ecosystem is low. I have plenty of bad things to say about Microsoft, but I think their track record is quite good when it comes to making low latency input and graphics "just work."

Still on X11. OBS just works.

I've been using OBS on wayland, they got captures working really well a few years ago.

But for VR stuff I've been going back to X11, and I was just last night trying to finish a screen capture program on wayland (w/ kde plasma) and idk I just have to do repeated screenshots ana analyze those > horrible fps, but at least I think I got that working finally after many attempts last year.

Gaming is not really an issue now with DEs that help ppl disable compositions and wine/proton.
