From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Were you having problems previously?
Not outside of what was expected. Worth noting that i am using Kwin on Wayland, so out of order frames, and flickering of CEF and Electron on XWayland apps was an issue. I’m not sure about the latter, but the former will be gone once Plasma 6.1 releases in about 3 weeks. Or if you’re using a different compositor, it could be gone already
I believe it was Xwayland 24.1 that recently released that brought explicit sync support, so you'll need that.
What I noticed is that alternatives to most electron apps are much better anyway. Spotify-tui is more efficient, and Discord in a separate Firefox instance is even more memory efficient that the normal Discord.
