Does Wayland really break everything?

My main issue with wayland is the mouse cursor’s delayed responsiveness to mouse movements. It feels like when i move the mouse the cursor moves rather slowly on screen, it feels like it has a different refresh rate than the monitor’s 60hz refresh rate so it feels like the cursor is frame skipping. It is hard to tell really, you gotta feel it to understand. Hopefuly i am not the only one having this issue (which is the only reason i am still on X11) and somebody is looking into this.

I think this is already fixed. Not sure if this is Plasma 6 only.

There also is the youtube frame skip issue in our use case (us means who are on RPI-5). Wayland solves screen tearing for the desktop on a RPI but it somehow limits the fps/refresh rate on screen to do this i reckon so youtube videos for example can not play 60fps even when it is possible to do so on X11.

There is currently work being done improve KWin on weak hardware.
One is Tripplebuffering: Draft: backends/drm: allow having two frames in flight ("triple buffering") (!4833) · Merge requests · Plasma / KWin · GitLab
The other I forgot, but there is either a merge request or it is already merged.
