Ubuntu 20.04 Gaming Performance Across Desktops, X.Org vs. Wayland

Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a Linux-native Vulkan-powered game port by Feral Interactive, saw basically the same performance throughout.

The Strange Brigade Vulkan-powered game running on Linux via Steam Play saw flat average FPS numbers but this was another title where KDE Plasma 5.18 on Wayland was seeing a higher minimum FPS than under X.Org.
