    Is this a Mint problem, or tied to certain hardware? I never had screen tearing for years now. Both adaptive sync in games as well as adaptive sync or vsync on desktop just worked out of the box for me.

    It happened to me on Ubuntu. VLC and Jellyfin would both get screen tearing. Games were fine though. After some research, I found that turning on 'force full composition pipeline' in the Nvidia settings fixed it. Still too new to understand the how and why.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago

    That setting rings a bell, I think it was a year-long Nvidia screw-up (one of too many) that only recently gets slowly fixed…

    Installs Ubuntu

    What could possibly go wrong?

    [–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

    X11 has issues with screen tearing sometimes, it definitely depends on your hardware though. Watching shows from my shitty laptop on my 10 yr old TV was horrible.

    Upgrading to wayland fixed it.

    [–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Probably because they use x11

    [–] fnrir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Wayland isn't viable for everyone yet... but at least they merged the window icon protocol.

    [–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 1 month ago

    god, if "we didn't think we'd need it" isn't just the motto of wayland at this point.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

    Not having the problem on X11 either (had to go back due to Nvidia on one device). Would be a configuration thing then, it would be really weird for Mint to not have vsync on by default though.
