Hey guys, what's up?
When i first got to Linux i thought D.E had no difference in gaming when we were talking about powerful computers, but getting involved with gaming Linux communities, i discovered that many people said: hey, best D.E are the ones you can deactivate the window compositor, which i tested, and it felt better.
Despite fps don't seem to change too much must of the time, i really feel like GNOME or Budgie is not so smooth as a no compositor gaming experience... i had this sensation in GTA V trough Steam Play.
Best option here on Nvidia seems to be: Force Composition Pipeline enable + No window compositor + Not any other kind of vsync activated.
Generally, i try to run out of KDE, because it's just buggy... i hope in Solus KDE it will be different.
Also had a problem in Budgie, i was like taking some time to go to the bathroom, when i camed back to GTA V, i had a huge performance drop. A guy who knows stuff about game told me it was probably a compositor problem, probably the desktop tried to rest, and did some bad thing in the GTA V.
It's a complicated stuff, i mean, in my normal PC Budgie would really feel better as desktop experience. I just want to discuss about it, trade some experiences. Some videos i saw:
