    And today, the pinnacle! Wayland vs Wayland! Gnome vs Plasma! This is a rather long, detailed article showing idle and loaded system performance benchmarks on a laptop with AMD processor and integrated AMD graphics running Fedora 42 Workstation Gnome, including static desktop, 4K 60FPS video playback in VLC and WebGL Aquarium simulation in Firefox, measuring power usage on battery, GPU utilization, CPU load and FPS count, crucial and important comparison to KDE neon Plasma 6.4 results with Wayland power efficiency, Wayland color accuracy and X11 with compositing sessions, additional observations like major difficulty getting codecs installed needed for video playback and critical problems associated with unverified software packages and third-party sources, other notes, and more. Enjoy!
