Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

    There’s a ‘gamemode’ package (arch wiki) but it’s more for niceness and gpu governor.

    My proposal: figure out how you can disable effects via cli on KDE and create a little script.

        KDE

        KDE disable compositor
        qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /Compositor org.kde.kwin.Compositing.suspend

        KDE enable compositor
        qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /Compositor org.kde.kwin.Compositing.resume

        Would need to be updated for qt6.

        Used this before switching to Wayland, which has provided a far superior gaming and desktop experience the past year.
