    It’s not a huge amount of latency, so it’s probably not super noticible to people who don’t pay much attention. I’m pretty sensitive to input lag, and it does feel noticeably worse than both X11 without compositing and windows.

    It is possible to get decent latency currently, with VRR + mailbox + fps cap, but there is still no VRR support if you use gnome.
