That's promising… but at the same time: kwin, both X11 and Wayland, is still
complete mess in regards of proper vsync and latency of its compositing (the
thing that hated X11-only kwin-lowlatency fork is trying to solve:
https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2020/04/on-forking/ ). Developer that
tried to resolve it recently has been driven out:
https://phabricator.kde.org/T11071 &
https://subdiff.org/blog/2020/the-k-win-ft-project/ And previously the other
one was even trying to add Vulkan (complete replacement of deprecated and
abandoned OpenGL and all its interfaces) & DMABuf support but stopped all his
activity in 2018:

EGL (needed for GLES and non-X11 OpenGL access, I think it also needed for
handling DMABuf and switchable graphics) backend in X11 kwin is still glitchy
and some effects don't work.

That's number 1 core functionality of DE: ability to see things and interact
with them at all. When the most important thing is neglected for years, why
would you expect anything about anything else anymore ? Since KDE4 rewrite
fiasco I've seen nothing but offhand snarky excuses on every single issues,
especially regressions, especially purposefully broken-by-design "we don't need
it and so do you" & "it doesn't fit the VDG/HIG" (remember gigantic
buttons-for-tablets-that-we-don't-even-support and "unintrusive" unrecognizable
monochrome icons fads ?) ones. After KDE5 rewrite they doubled down.

Personally, I have more faith in US closing down Guantanamo Bay & all other
torture and illegal imprisonment camps instead of pushing hypocritical morality
doctrines/"agendas" on the world sooner than KDE's development making sense and
practicality. And yes, it's a remark about inappropriateness of authority
members/representatives of KDE virtue-signalling about their
good-faith-in-accordance-to-good-moral-beliefs, unrelated to purpose of KDE,
from official announcement channels of KDE, activity of religious cults and
political parties: https://subdiff.org/blog/2019/political-activism-in-kde/
