I'd switch to KWin/Wayland completely, if not for this annoying bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387313

Overall from these results, the performance was fairly close between the different desktop environments -- more so than some of the past Linux gaming desktop comparisons further in the past. The (X)Wayland performance on the current GNOME and KDE releases were also much closer than we have seen in some of our previous comparisons.
I'd suggest:
Overall, the performance was fairly similar between the different desktop environments -- more so than past Linux gaming benchmarks would indicate. The (X)Wayland results, on current GNOME and KDE releases, were especially close.
Overall, this benchmarking reveals a far closer race between the tested desktop environments than historical results would indicate -- particularly between GNOME and KDE's (X)Wayland offerings.

Use the Xfce desktop, it is stable, light, fast and freely configurable. KDE does not have the freely configurable Whisker menu for example. All games run fine if the run with your OS.
That bug is fixed in the 4.13 series... which means running unstable, development code, unless you feel like backporting the patches... which, due to how much work happened in between to get things ready for GTK3 is not simple if you aren't familiar with GTK code and the equivalents and such.
Said 4.13 series is only available in experimental.
And don't tell me to run an Ubuntu package, I'm not going to make a Frankendebian.
Otherwise, yeah, Xfce plus gedit is wonderful for the few games I've run under it.
