The Linux graphics stack in a nutshell, part 1
I think your information is quite outdated. The HWC overlay planes are heavily used, you can see this trivially just doing a 'dumpsys SurfaceFlinger' or grabbing a systrace/perfetto trace. When it falls back to GPU composition it's very obvious as there's a significant hit to latency and more GPU contention.
The overlay capabilities of the modern Snapdragons are also quite absurd. They support like upwards of a dozen overlays now and even have FP16 extended sRGB support. Some HWCs (like the one in the steam deck) even have per plane 3D LUTs for HDR tone mapping (ex https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/blob/master/src/d... )
The composition is bandwidth heavy of course, but for static scenes there's a cache after the HWC in the form of panel self refresh.

Firefox Is Going to Try and Ship with Wayland Enabled by Default
One of the unfortunate things about Wayland is every compositor will have its own quality of implementation affecting things like latency.
With XOrg, especially in the pre-compositing days, you could choose whatever WM you want and it wouldn't have any impact on the rendering performance of X clients. Once the Composite extension was added and everyone started running composited X desktops, that started to change, and the increased latency already started appearing - in an arguably worse architecture than Wayland because there were often three processes involved with lots of IPC per draw: X-Client->X-Server->X-Compositor->X-Server->CRTC. At least in Wayland it's more like Wayland-Client->Wayland-Compositor->CRTC.
If you're unhappy with the rendering latency of your Wayland sessions, it may be worth trying alternative compositors... they likely vary significantly. The Valve/Steam folks have made a minimal one specifically optimized for games/low-latency [0]. I doubt the SteamDeck would be seeing as much success as it is if Wayland were so problematic in this department.

Help needed to confirm two 3.5 bugs
While streaming from the Deck to another device (phone with Steam Link app or another PC running steam), taking a screenshot on the Deck (hold the steam or ... button, and press R1) crashes the session (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/961). This one also impacts Decky Recorder. If you're recording the screen or have replay mode on and take a screenshot, you'll have a crash.
- I haven't seen much posted about it here, so I wanted to point out Valve's gamescope micro-compositor (Linux Gaming)

FYI on video corruption in cmd and terminal windows
Hey folks. I've got a 11900H motherboard and use the iGPU and stock Intel graphics drivers that I keep current. Even at baseline (so without overclocking of any kind, with good Corsair memory sticks configured without XMP and regardless of voltage), I would be able to use Windows 11 and the CMD or Terminal programs without issue but after some time they would be corrupt and unreadable. The fix was in Terminal, go into Settings, then Render, and turn on Software Rendering. I hope this helps someone else. FYI the corruption was very much like other Intel UHD graphics samples reported in this link: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/356

MAN💪jaro
Dude is a bot replying "Manjaro on x86 crashes and breaks alot". I would say Manjaro breaks a lot regardless of the architecture: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

let's update, darling? X let's update, MF!
windows: forces major updates to a new not yet ready major version windows: every app has a auto-launch and randomly updates in the background or is outdated windows: updates get stuck and happen right before meetings, etc windows: adds ads to your filemanager during updates and overall is more of a downgrade linux: i tell it t update when it fits me and dont even have to restart (ok its better to reboot after major updates, but i can also tell it to download&install everything and apply it during the next reboot) linux: if for some reason anything breaks i can just undo the update within grub/systemd-boot - meanwhile updating thunderbird killed one of my windows installations permanently manjaro: a burning shipwreck on all sides minimal-distros and other ones i wouldnt recommend for average users: updates require the terminal mint/pop/ubuntu/fedora: updates are neat little pop-ups and just offer it and work

Arch-based Distros
Sets out to be an easy entry to Arch with sane defaults. It tries to achieve this by making the installation of Arch easy, adding GUI-tools to ease you into Linux, own repos with less bleeding-edge software and it ships a configured Btrfs+Timeshift for easy rollbacks to a working system. Unfortunately, the team behind Manjaro has some troubles...
