Quoting: drjomsDoes Proton use SDL at all?

Both Wine and Proton uses SDL. Mostly on the controller side for things like force feedback and rumble support. Not for anything that would impact Wayland like window creation or rendering.

Quoting: BumadarAnd that basically was it, am enjoying it a lot and am mighty impressed with how smooth something as big like this went.

That's good to hear! People with problems tend to be a lot more vocal so success stories can easily be lost in the noise.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumI'm just not sure what the big deal is as in my mind this one is just one of those "Oh, that's the issue? Okay, tweak that, done."

GNOME users had this for ages, but we took the feature for granted and lost the opportunity to brag about it. Well played KDE, well played!

As for Plasma 6. I'm not a .0 kind of person .1 possibly .1.1 more likely.
