lmao

Except it's not a problem at all.

I have an AMD gpu and it still tears on youtube

this is the main reason i stopped using linux (mint). the tearing was unbearable and the latest few kernels i tried at the time wouldn't let me install the nvidia drivers to fix the issue. old kernels would let me install the driver fine, but i wanted to patch my system against meltdown/spectre.
i tried the tearfree option in the intel drivers but that didn't do shit.
even if the driver settings worked properly, why aren't they enabled by default? why do i have to google around for a solution? screen tearing on the fucking desktop on default settings should not be a problem in 2018.

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU#Performance_tuning
Option "TearFree" "true"

That setting enables driver-level v-sync it barely causes shit worth of latency. It's legitimately unnoticeable for me.

>linux users clamoring fixes to shit that should never have to be fixed in 2018

>clamoring
Its copy and pasting one line you fucking retard.

Xorg is 3rd party.
It's existed before the kernel itself for Unix OS's.
Wayland is the only real 1st party Linux graphics stack.

If its that simple to get vsync working than how come it's not a default? It would save some headache from new users who come from windows and expect vsync to work out the gate

heh.. nothing personnel, kiddo

*teleports behind you*
*tears your screen*
*eats your ram*
*crawls out of the sea and eats Tokyo and spits it out as a giant binary logfile*

I assume its because not everyone suffers from the issue and needs to make the change. Why would you force a setting on if not everyone needed it?

There has to be a way of knowing who is going to suffer from the problem and if that is the case if the system should find that the user is going to suffer the problem then the appropriate configuration files/fixes should be applied during install

Why isn't it on by default then?

Clearly not.

New users use GNOME or some other default DE that uses compositor, thus they don't even know about that issue.
Users wishing to customize their experience know about this well-documented issue and either use compositor or config Xorg properly.
Fuck off now.

grammer*

missed the opportunity for a full score

wtf it was that easy

It still occasionally tears a bit when scrolling in web browser, but that's meaningless as Youtube playback finally works

I though my oldish Intel gpu was just too slow

Still much less work than disabling data collection in W10, which doesn't fully work anyway and will be reverted at next bigger system update.

Win 7 does everything Linux does but better.

*remove tearing*

I don't even use Arch but their wiki is great and many of the fixes (like the one linked) work on all distros.

I don't either, I run Mint but now I at least knew the keyword to google for

The file location is a bit different, it's under /etc in Mint

Except being up to date.

i once saw 'unsupported hardware - intel processor'

>compositor nigger
Where can I buy one these days?

get KDE

Enjoy your fucking high input lag

It doesn't increase input lag more than any other vsync you can see in Windows or Mac.

>*tears you're screen*

Your wrong. It doesn't tear you're screen. How fucking old is you're Hardware. Your trolling, right?

You mean like every OS does?
Power saving distros have vsync disabled by default, Xfce has this because of a shitty wm.
Windows 7 has tearing unless you enable Aero.
Windows 10 has Aero enabled by default and enforced. Without it it would screen tear too.

>tears you're screen when using GDI
Seems about the same, without a specific compositor vsync doesn't work.

Windows XP x86 has vsync with GDI, why in hell Vista and 7 do not is beyond me, I hate Aero so fucking much.

How the fuck haven't you figured out how to install proper drivers, and adjust for screen tearing? I've been able to stop all Debian based distro from tearing on every single PC I have ever set it up on.
