Weird page

I agree. It's bragging about a bunch of things that either aren't part of KDE or aren't really gaming. It's like if MS made a "Gaming on Windows" page to advertise solitaire, minesweeper, pinball, and Steam.

"Here's KDE on the Steam Deck! On Manjaro. For some reason..."

I recently learned about Sysrq + f to kill running processes making the computer hang. Before finding about this I had to manually restart the PC via power button. I wonder if KDE should make it easier to enable this feature considering they have something to kill processes already but it’s less powerful than Sysrq.

Kde is so bloat there's no chance gamers with optimization in mind will choose it.

Plasma is more lightweight than GNOME in terms of resource usage, so.... (I use a tiling window manager, btw)

I've been using it for a long time. I've personally found that there is essentially no impact on gaming performance--or if there is, it's so slight that it's totally negligible on midrange hardware, especially with feral gamemode. It might be more impactful on low spec PCs, I would assume, but I'm not sure of that. In my case, it's plenty lightweight and offers lots of customizability.

I used to feel that way as well, but things have changed and improved quite a bit.

Seems that way
