You'd probably want to use an X11-based DE like Cinnamon instead, many games still don't play well with wayland.

Don't Steam Deck games run on Wayland?

This has not been my experience. I've an Nvidia desktop and AMD HTPC, both running Wayland and a wide variety of games. What's more, they both do variable sync and HDR.

I haven't used X since 2022. Wayland has been pretty solid for me - although the fractional scaling issue is going to plague us well into 2030 at this rate.

I'll give it a spin though, worth a shot.
