- screenshots work

- the keyboard and mouse can be controlled programmatically, but unaware if xdotool itself works

- I don't notice any input delay with the monitors at 60Hz

- I'm using the unsupported GPU flag with SwayWM and 4k games and windowed games work for me

- never tried disabling vsync. I'm guessing it won't work

I suspect if you use fractional scaling, the games wont run at 4k, but instead the fraction of 4k

X11 games maybe; SDL's Wayland backend can deal with fractional scales and make it render at native 4k.

Sure, I'd expect anything Wayland native will work as expected. Are there many games with Wayland support though? Honest question.

SDL got a pretty decent Wayland support in its last releases, so: yes, there are.
