    What is bad about it? What ‘display features’ are important here? My main problem with Cinnamon was lag spikes every second or so, though that was some years ago and might not be an issue now. Games seem to mostly work fine, except VR stuff still needs more troubleshooting, but I’m skeptical a different DE would fix those issues.

      Basically all XOrg vs. Wayland issues

      • no fractional scaling, or if there is, with big performance issues
      • no HDR
      • no mixed DPI or FPS
      • in total very bad multi monitor support (it was hacked in afterwards, not really intended from the ground up)

      No idea about VR but I assume it works well on KDE or GNOME (depending on what you mean, people use Meta quest as an external display)

        I don’t have high resolution monitors so most of that isn’t relevant to me but they are different dimensions and it seems to handle two of them fine.

        VR issues are like, the headset speakers not being recognized, viewing the desktop from SteamVR shows a blank screen, and launching VR games does not actually cause the headset to switch to them, they just run in the background. Stuff like that. I guess it would be worth trying another DE just to see if it helps.
