Under Xorg I changed Kwin with Openbox for betting performace (yes, Kwin is a mess for me) in the past, but under Wayland this is not possible because Kwin is mandatory.

Originally posted by markc View PostPlasma under Wayland is mostly okay now. The Wayland showstopper for me is that anything running in Xwayland has blurry fonts on a HiDPI display which renders (literally) the whole concept of using a Wayland session completely unusable.

The article is a bit too much fixated on Wayland. Actually KWin's vsync on Xorg was much more needy of improvements and works well now (with non-mixed refresh rates only, of course). Though of course the Wayland improvements are great too and it gets more and more usable.
I btw. just got rid of any launcher in my taskbar and rely only on krunner. It really is a keeper.
