I found the comparison between X11 and Wayland's input latency fascinating, particularly the results showing Wayland's lower latency with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and DXVK. The article highlights the importance of considering the compositor's impact on input latency, which is often overlooked. In my experience with developing graphics-intensive applications, minimizing input latency is crucial for a responsive user experience. The mention of DXVK's role in reducing latency also resonates with my observations on the benefits of using Vulkan-based rendering. How do you think the introduction of newer technologies like NVIDIA's NVAPI might further influence the input latency landscape on Linux?
