   I'd have to check it out if I didn't already find absolute perfection   
   with what I have. There is truly no reason to migrate away from KDE   
   within Endeavour. I've also realized that with my NVIDIA GPU, I'm not   
   too well served in Wayland. It works fine in just about everything, but   
   I noticed that performance is less than ideal in games. If I play   
   Civilization 7 within Wayland, I get constant choppiness when   
   civilization leaders talk to one another. Play it in X and there is no   
   issue whatsoever. I'm actually surprised that there would be such a   
   difference.
