KDE Goals brainstorming
There is already fullscreen unredirection implementation in kwin-lowlatency but it doesn't work good with multi-monitor and the dev isn't planning to upstream it soon afaik

No clue which door, answers this Linux question?
Maybe attach a bounty offer to a specific feature request in the bug-tracking database, as these guys did: https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency/issues/56 ?
-
Do I even need kwin-lowlatency any more ?
On the github page, the author said that kwin-lowlatency is not dead because of full-screen unredirection capabilities with eliminating stuttering without force composition pipeline (force composition pipeline increase latency and reduce performance I believe).

What's the one big thing(s) missing in Linux gaming besides EAC?
This didn't go away when disabling full screen unredirection. https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency/issues/95

Is it just me, or does the Linux **desktop** experience kind of feel lacklustre?
Piggybacking here: Recent Kwin versions had lots of changes internally. If you're already on newest version, try Kwin-lowlatency or KwinFT.

How to reduce Input Lag?
You can read up on some stuff here regarding KDE: https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency

Why is the compositor disabled if a fullscreen game is minimized?
It used to be there as a feature: fullscreen unredirect. But due to some bugs the kwin team removed it. Last time I checked, https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency supported unredirection and also ran much smoother on high refresh rates.

Bottles – Easily run Windows software on Linux
The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming
This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/
You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/
If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.
Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.
