General information:

I'm using EndeavourOS, with KDE Plasma. I am very happy with my setup as it is, but since Wayland is "the future" I'm thinking of getting a move on.
It came default with just X11, no Wayland. I know KDE supports Wayland but have no idea how to switch.
I play a lot of games, I read somewhere that Wayland has worse gaming performance. I don't know if true or not, though.
... I have an AMD GPU. I'm not enough of a masochist to try and use Linux with NVidia.
..... BUT I've been thinking of upgrading to an Intel Arc GPU in the nearish future.

Let me know if there is any, more important, specific info I should be giving.

EDIT: I have changed. ... I felt no difference, but I suppose that is the whole point. Thank you to everyone who answered.

Install Wayland and KDE support then switch on the login screen

pacman -Sy plasma-wayland-session

You can test Wayland support in x11 with

startplasma-wayland dolphin
