Anyone tried Lubuntu with LXQT desktop lately? Especially for Linux gaming using Steam/Proton/Bottles, etc?

I have used LXQT and it was nice, just not meant for gaming. I would recommend using a desktop that already supports all the relevant features for gaming like KDE.

What features would that be? Stuff for configuring controllers in the settings for example?

I was mainly talking about stuff like HDR, VRR, tearing and gaming optimizations like with compositing. KDE also is generally more powerful as LXQTs main focus is performance

Ah I see. Thank you for the precision. I might stick with KDE then.

LXQt is developing nicely, but does not yet have wayland by default.

This isn't really a big deal for me though.
