Huh. I turned on PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 when it became available and didn't notice any change in input lag. Probably one of the many reasons why I'm not a competitive player.

I also don't like to play above 60Hz.

At 60 Hz, there are 16.6 ms between frames, so the ~3 ms improvement from not using XWayland would be very hard to notice visually. Where it can make a difference is that some competitive FPS games have some kind of client side hitscan or lag compensation and often play at high refresh rates, so there it can actually matter that their system reports to the multiplayer server that you clicked in the right place a couple of milliseconds earlier.

Oh, cool! Thanks for the knowledge.

But why?

Wrong framing. I would need a reason to go above 60Hz, since it doesn't look any better to me and just wastes energy.

Are you sure you've ever gone above 60hz and 60fps? It is unequivocally agreed to look much better

I am. It's meh. People like different things.
