Latency matters a lot, and it's one of the least-appreciated aspects of UX design.

I (accidentally) dropped my desktop Linux system into pure console mode the other day and realized how much FASTER it felt just because of the improvement in keyboard latency.

Some applications have noticeably better keyboard latency than others on my Linux system. Kitty, Emacs and Chromium beat most QT apps and Firefox by a mile. Also, latency is much better for me in Wayland than in (composited) X (sway vs i3). Not sure why that is.
