Uninstalling Xwayland breaks it, you’re greeted to a black background and your mouse pointer.
Additionally, as per their own website, it says “The workspaces have been developed for X11 and much functionality relies on X11. To be able to make proper use of Wayland these bits have to be rewritten.”
KWin is just a composer though. Plasma as a desktop environment still relies on XWayland

Just tried it, hardware acceleration doesn’t work on Linux and clogs my CPU during gameplay
Reporting in with a Galaxy Note 10 running unofficial LineageOS 21
I find that ironic as in SDR mode Plasma says EDID colour profiles tend to be very inaccurate
Take a look at DRM-free games (ex. GOG) and then check their rating on ProtonDB. If you don’t want to use Steam, there is Bottles and Heroic Game Launcher. I’ve tried former and it has a “gaming” profile which will automatically add DXVK and VKD3D for you.
If you used Gnome over X11 then you’re fine, Wayland needed patches
No Man’s Sky VR in general feels unstable. On Windows it always crashed roughly 20 seconds after loading in. On Linux I have lots of UI corruption
NMS uses Vulkan directly
I run foobar2000 to transcode music, apply ReplayGain and edit tags. Except I do all of that on Linux through Wine, I have no clue why someone needs Windows for foobar
Epic with a lower cut has the same game prices. Additionally Valve lowered their cut ahead of a launch of Epic Games Store
Regarding iPhone photos, these are usually stored in HEIF/HEIC format, which is a large annoyance if you want to edit, and sometimes show, those pictures. I work at a photolab and whenever we see customers with iPhones we immediately say “There will be issues to develop your pictures”
I think you’re talking about CPU governors (conservative, ondemand, powersave etc.)
Changing schedulers on-the-fly, depending on what you need to do on your machine.

OP’s phone, Xperia 1 V, is on this website and requires an IMEI number only to generate an unlock code

You’re on X or Wayland?
On KDE you can force VRR for non-fullscreen apps by setting Adaptive Sync to “Always” in Display settings
Used to tip my toes in Linux world circa 2011 as a kid. I found Ubuntu easier to set up than Windows, but the software catalogue was lacking (games, Adobe software).
Came back to it in 2021 when I read about Valve’s commitment to Wine/Proton and DXVK. Tried out Ubuntu once again but I found it unreliable - random lockups, UI bugs (AMD GPU). Whenever I had an issue my answers were featured on Arch wiki, so I thought “why not Arch then”. That and many memes about femboys/trans girls (haii ^^) using Arch made me try it out and… I stayed with it. Would occasionally reboot to Windows for games with anti-cheat and VR, but over time I kept using Windows less and less.
Fast forward to this year, since April my PC is no longer tainted by Microsoft. All of the games I play work on Linux with no quirks to them, KDE Wayland supports screen tearing so I can play competitive games on it, SteamVR works good enough so don’t have to dualboot anymore.
Kinda glad I learned all of this, as Windows is going downhill with all of the hardware requirements and AI buzzwords
