KDE Wayland for Gaming

av_conk@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 25 points –

What's the current landscape like for gaming with KDE Wayland? I've heard that recently VSync can be disabled and that Wine has better support for Wayland nowadays.

Whats your experience like with this setup?

I play exclusively on kde wayland and I am really happy with it, I don’t have to mess with anything and everything works. The only thing that comes to mind is that Steam isn’t wayland native so you have to set an environment variable to set scaling on hidpi screens. Other than that everything works really fine!

How do you set that environment variable for Steam?

I set STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=2.0 in /etc/environment

Is that within a Steam configuration file?

No, it's a file in your computer, located at /etc/environment, you need to edit it and add the env variable I posted earlier
