    Did you do performance comparisons between Wayland and X11, or is your metric subjective?

      Completely subjective, I represent the average semi-casual gamer that is limited by skill, not lag. So for all these games I can just tell I did not notice any lag that annoyed me (and everything ran on my 144Hz monitor) and that there have been no framerate drops (to that, I am susceptible)
