From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tldr; Wayland is a bit faster than X, Gnome is a bit faster than KDE.
I wonder if there is some clear reason for the Gnome/KDE difference, or is it just bits and pieces here and there?
The comments under the article speculate that composition may not have been disabled during testing under KDE and the performance would have been the same if it was disabled.
