some info in terms of performance on wine

SC 2168
Fedora 32 + RPMFusion
kernel v. 5.8
nv blob v. 450
Hybrid Graphics on Zen Aio 4k

Intel HD:

- 2d performance is quite well on Wayland/XWayland and it's +10% down to X11

- OpenGL SC option is decreased CPU usage for 50-60%

then Nvidia blob was added and X11 was set back:

with OpenGL option all graphs on charts are missing so no visible objects were presented:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia wine ./SierraChart_64.exe


with no OpenGL option all graphs and performance still the same as on Intel HD /X11 was

so Intel/XWayland is the solution in case of Hybrid Graphics will be used

I've tested it on Ubuntu 18.04.5 with the same blob ver using Prime scripting set

2d performance is worse or the same than Intel HD/Wayland/Xwayland was ( using OpenGL SC option )
and it was just awful with no OpenGL SC option at all

Ubuntu 20.04 / Cinnamon 20 and Windows 10 were tested as well

so my list of 2d performance results:

1st place is for IntelHD/Wayland/XWayland ( super efficient but it shouldn't be )

2nd place is for IntelHD/X11 -10% to 1st

3rd place is for Nvidia/X11 -15% to 1st

4th place is for Nvidia/Wayland/Xwayland -25% to 1st

5th plase is for Nvidia/Windows -50% to 1st ( O_O ... wtf ? )

Gnome w themes and dash2panel extension looks the best for everyone.

a number of setups has been tested and it is clear now
it is really worth to prefer amd gpu hw to nvidia hw in order to get well 2D performance on Linux
and no need to be on the cutting edge here to be OK

a lot of people just hate gnome 3 so
amd hdXXXX hw works just cool using marco+compton on linux mint/mate 20

the best combo at this moment is AMD hw and CentOS 8 ~50% adv 2d graph perf to any tested Linux distro
