I moved to KDE for better gaming support, but I really dislike the condensed look of everything in the settings app, discover, and most of all in Dolphin.

Are there any discrete, simple, clean themes that have more padding ? I like how GNOME looks but I really dislike their slow development for gaming related stuff.

    The render surface handed out by the compositor, games don’t take control of the GPU. You can’t have a game enable VRR on the GPU while other processes lock the FPS to 60, and in most compositors there are multiple applications to keep track of.

    I suppose interfacing through DXVK which interfaces through the Vulkan platform which interfaces through the Vulkan drivers which interfaces to the GPU drivers does involve talking to the GPU, but games certainly aren’t in control of the hardware the same way Kwin or Mutter is.

    I’m mystified as to why people think it does.

    Because VRR doesn’t work on Gnome/Mutter. Well, it should, after the MR that was merged this week, but that’s very recent code.

      The render surface [is] handed out by the compositor

      That’s what I said. You’re repeating what I said back to me.
