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I think your information is quite outdated.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.

More Than 75% of Steam Games Tested Are Playable or Verified on the Steam Deck

Gamescope not working in Ubunte
Hopefully someone more experienced in troubleshooting than me can chime in to help, since I don't wish to leave you on a "Works on my machine™" but I really don't know how to help since I don't use Ubuntu. In the meantime, try opening an issue on gamescope's issue tracker.
Take a second look at the github page; there is information on how to set the right resolution with Steam launch arguments. A quick cursory glance at the documentation gives me the impression that support for Nvidia GPU's is limited. I wouldn't bother with it if you consider yourself a Linux noob, the small performance up lift in not going to out way the frustration to make it work properly.

Help Request: Low Framerate in Cyberpunk 2077 on RX 7900 XT
I'm unfamiliar with gamescope, never heard of it before. I found their github... I'm guessing "command" needs to be a compatibility layer like proton or wine calling the game's executable, huh?

Bookworm and games
In a nutshell, the video stack is held back because of compositor ; YMMV, but, if you'd like to try one designed primarly for games, use gamescope, the one made for the Steam Deck: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

Mindustry: Open-source automation tower defense game
Does it make sense to publish Deb packages for this game?

Factorio: Space Age
Or Mindustry, which is open source: https://mindustrygame.github.io/
Mindustry has two "planets" and they play entirely differently. The newer one, Erekir, is a mix of Factorio, tower defense and RTS elements.
I actually liked it a bit more than Factorio, because it is less complex.
I didn’t really like the first planet though (Serpulo) and stopped after playing through Erekir twice.
Or (while on the subject of Factorio) Mindustry:
