I just built UE 5.7 on CachyOS with Wayland and KDE Plasma, and I noticed that the editor is painfully slow. All the menus and windows inside the editor are really (and I mean REALLY) slow, while the game in PIE works flawlessly—even faster than in Windows (the irony, right?).
I checked all the tricks, but most of them are for X11. Is there a reliable way to run Unreal on Linux with Wayland?
Is there any recommended flow? I thought about using the windows release and run it through proton or using the aur package, but I really need to debug the engine sometimes
