Not counting the Steam Deck, since KDE isn't actually turned on while you're running games.

Normally I'm a Gnome guy, but I'm building a tiny low power portable computer and wanting to keep resource utilization low, so I'm investigating other options.

I just stick to Gnome to avoid problems in gaming specifically, but obviously Plasma works great as well on Steam Deck.

You could give LXQT a shot, which should be QT-compatible, and maybe require less fussing with if you do run into an issue. Xfce or Mate might be options as well, but not as lightweight.

I'm using WMs for 10 years now. Started with Openbox, currently running Bspwm for quite some time. Eyeing on River but not switching to Wayland yet thanks to Nvidia.
