Linus will use Steam Deck as daily driver for a month
There's a kwin-lowlatency that has an xorg unredirection (in latest versions) and automatic kwin suspend in kubuntu LTS repo
- Wayland - getting there!

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.

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.

Writing a Wayland compositor is MUCH harder than it should be
You might be interested in the KWinFT project I started few years ago which aims at providing such high-level libraries in the long run.

Will Pop!_OS ever do an officially KDE flavor or will it forever be GNOME-only? Would you like Pop!_OS to do a KDE Flavor? (Poll)
Interesting. If you don't mind, I'm working on KWinFT, originally forked from KWin, and now in the process of splitting out reusable libraries for compositor creation. My goal is to provide desktop-agnostic template libraries, so might be a good fit for you.

Sway merged the new vulkan renderer!
All I can think of is the KWinFT project, how that project benifits from this as well.
