Ah. Yeah, I play games very much like that (but not those specific ones). I also play rhythm games, which require precise timing.

Like this guy mentions [0], for all but one of the games I've tried, [1] I see comparable or superior performance to Windows.

I'm running AMD hardware, and I'm using KDE without a compositor on Xorg (that is, not on Wayland). I strongly expect that I've successfully disabled KDE's compositor because I seem to get the same performance when I use WindowMaker, which has never had a compositor.

[1] That game is the Deus Ex that takes place in Prague... I think it's Human Revolution. It's mind-boggling how slow it is.
