No, manjaro is definitely not the most user-friendly distro. And they did some pretty bad stuff. Also, stop recommending arch based distros to new users.
Sure you can. This works great for my G502 and G603.
Thankfully games built on SDL have a fair bit of forward compatibility. They're not directly driving audio/video themselves. Looks like a commit last October even fixed the longstanding issue of mouse warp being unsupported on Wayland.
The Wayland protocol for disabling vsync was merged two months ago. As was the kwin implementation. And the gamescope implementation.
The biggest problem with Wayland's security model is the inability for apps to listen to key presses when not focussed (No global shortcuts). xdg-desktop-portal finally added a portal to address that a couple months ago and KDE implemented it ~2 months ago including Xwayland compatibility.
Recently they changed their mind though, and open sourced their drivers at https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules. Now the driver developers are working on integrating those drivers into mesa (mesa is a project which has drivers for all intel and amd gpus). That project is called NVK
