Yeah you need to use a separate compositor along with it, like picom/compton.

About gaming and latency on Wayland
Or we refer to different things. With "compositor" i mean this, like this. I do have noticed that some Wayland developers like to use "compositor" to mean the window system implementation itself (and then retrofitting the term on Xorg) but while in some way it might be valid with Wayland - since that assumes composition always happen - it is not correct for X.

Terminal emulator that can blur the background ?
This will depend on the compositor you choose to use. For DIY desktop environments based on X11, you can use Compton to set blur on translucent windows.

The purpose here is to as much, or more, power management than utilities like tlp without automation. The backend is dervived from research into tlp, powertop, and a lot of Google, but there's always room for more!
