Things don't feel very smooth
Running an RTX 3080 on Wayland, and there are a lot of instances where things don't feel very smooth or are low framerate, and I wanted to see if this was normal or if something is wrong. Apex Legends is really choppy, some GNOME animations feel weird, my cursor is sometimes at a low framerate, etc.

Are you using Wayland?
Yes
I just wanted to see if this was normal expected behavior, cause people keep saying that everything has been near perfect for them
Also I'm not sure if this is relevant, but Apex Legends takes like 10 minutes to launch , it does the processing and compiling of shaders very very slowly
I was thinking it could potentially be a wayland thing
When I do get in a game, it shows I am running at a reasonable framerate (120-150), however it looks more like 75 fps or something
Check your monitor’s refresh rate
Alright so I figured it out I think: it was Vesktop! I guess the special sauce in the screen sharing or whatever really messed with my performance
But now I am sad because I really like having my plugins and all that
