My PC is AMD Ryzen 3700x, 32gb ram, AMD 6650 8GB GPU Using MESA AMD Vulkan drivers. I have tested both DEs, clean vanilla installs, same drivers, same everything and despite what the reviews said about resources usage for KDE being on par (slightly higher) than Xfce and praising it, this game is u…

All I’m going to say is I’m sure Steam would not have selected KDE Plasma as their under-the-hood DE if it wasn’t the most user-friendly, stable, and if not the best performing a close second.

I do not have a steam console, but i am pretty sure they have heavily customized kde there.
