screen tearing ?
Yes
Never seen tearing look like a cracked mirror.
thats why i was asking…
I tried Wayland for the first time last week and my first reaction was “wtf this is so smooth”. But some stuff was too funky so I went back to X11.
I’m an X11 enjoyer and I’m proud of it
X11 gang rise up
How did you even get the picture of the W fan? W doesn’t even provide screen capture, nor global hotkeys to make PrintScreen work.
I still haven’t encountered any issues on Wayland on GNOME. X11 is unusable for me because it handles multiple monitors poorly, and everything just seems less smooth.
What do you mean by “handles multiple monitors poorly”? Is it something to do with scaling? The only issue I’ve encountered under X11 related to multihead is the inability to set different subpixel geometries for different monitors, but iirc wayland doesn’t let you do that either? Just curious what your usecase is
I have mixed refresh rate monitors, and animations and stuff will use the lowest common denominator. So all animations will be in 60hz on my 144hz monitor, just because I have a 60hz secondary monitor. The biggest offender is moving windows around.
I’ll enjoy x11 until my distro makes Wayland the default.
Using UI is kinda boring.

At first I though this was just a regular shitpost but then I saw the screen tear edit lol
On a more serious note, is there a way to actually fix screen tearing under x11? I’ve always thought a compositing manager like
xcompmgr
would do it, but for me it only makes it worse?i can fix it using “force full composition pipeline”
