Yeah I still use X.org, how could you tell?

cringe and anti-comfypilled

more like when you use Nouveau instead of Nvidias proprietary drivers on linux

> wobbly windows

What is this, 2007?

>just use a compositor
>compositing is clearly enabled

lol

I have never seen tearing, but I use Compton so maybe that's why.

that counts for dick if it's composited

the ultimate solution is to just move to 240hz monitors, then it won't matter if you're a frame or two behind.

Windows and Mac have responsive desktops and no tearing.

>windows
>responsive

Yes, it's responsive even on old thinkpads. Stop being delusional.

Tried wayland ones but none of my x tools were working, like how do you change keyboard layouts? - surely not with xkb-switch.

I know gnome does it somehow but I couldn't do it in sway,

i've never had that happen desu

you can do it easily in sway if you bothered to read the manual you lazy fuck

this used to happen to me all the time on i3 evn when I had compton AND tear free option enabled with any driver. It was consistent tearing too. The tearing was always at the same line no matter what

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
Wow bro that was so fucking hard.

>Nvidia
Gee, I wonder why.

Even with this, it still broke randomly for me. I had to reapply it at least once per session.

Wow that was so difficult

Here's my experience from half a year ago with loonix. Mostly user friendly distros like Ubuntu, KDE Neon, openSUSE and Manjaro but I think you get the point.

>All of this happening with an RX570 when supposedly "nvidia and intel are horrible on linux, you have to go AMD"

Windows and macOS got this figured out ages ago, I don't understand. It's not fucking 2002 anymore. You can't go and tell me "it's faster than windows" if everytime I do something on windows the animations are smooth as my balls, there's no tearing and if I decide to use windowed mode on something there's only a little bit of lag which is much more bearable.

Make sure to enable the spinny cube too

Tearing is a driver issue, fix the driver and it goes away everywhere.

Alternatively use Wayland.

Any UAC prompt will slow your desktop to a crawl on any hardware.

just disable UAC

You're kidding, right? *

>in order to treat that I also need to have compositing enabled
Just like on every fucking OS, idiot.
>experience stuttering while scrolling on websites with both firefox and chromium
Disable smooth scroll. It's an issue on windows too.
>"nvidia and intel are horrible on linux, you have to go AMD"
It's just nVidia.
>Unity

>Unity
It's abandoned years ago, and it was always shit.
>there's no tearing on windows
Only if you enable the compositor, aka Aero. On windows 10 it's enabled by default and can't be disabled, which is why you have an illusion of windows not having tearing. Windows 7 had it disabled by default until you installed drivers.

>Mostly user friendly distros like Ubuntu, KDE Neon, openSUSE and Manjaro
Ubuntu isn't made for desktop use. KDE Neon and openSUSE aren't made for a normie like you. You should have used Mint.

>uses nvidia + proprietary drivers
>complains "Xorg doesn't work"
Every. Fucking. Time.

>has to buy new hardware to use Linux
It's no wonder why no one bothers.

I'm using Linux on my Amiga 1200. Does it count as new hardware?

>lincucks excuses
kek

Literally never had this issue, and i use Nvidia propertiary drivers with KDE.
Anyway pic related is very ancient , probably some old version of kde

Is this what it's like to be a wintoddler?

The only viable alternative to xorg is a tty.

the only alternative is

remove smear

>Disable smooth scroll
Is there a way to disable pixel scrolling with touchpads on Chromium (and other Qt programs)?

Afaik chromium is locked into using smooth scrolling. Maybe there's an option in chrome/flags, I don't really know. Chrome browser have utter shit settings layout and it's deliberately made to confuse you, waste time and hide anything other than the most simple shit.

Look I just turned on vsync it's fine

I had this with an old Linux Mint. According to a forum (I think it was the NVidia forum) I could have solved it with a kernel update, the newest Nvidia driver and xorg 1.?? (I believe it was 1.19. OP, is that xorg 1.15 on your machine?). But in the Mint forum anyone with the tearing problem was told that xorg wouldn't be updated because Mint is stable and nice thanks to the LTS version of Ubuntu that Mint is based on. Not working was stable :(

> Nvidia Driver: 340.32
> Server Version: 11.0

Holy shit what year is this

>clipboard
wl-clipboard
>xdotool
ydotool

All my shit now runs natively on wayland. Running kitty as terminal and qutebrowser on qt5 wayland. Wayland and especially sway is very usuable right now

that's such a fucking shit rice wtf

>wl-clipboard
no integration with X clipboard afaik
>ydotool

Currently implemented command(s):
type- Type a string
key- Press keys
mousemove- Move mouse pointer to absolute position
mousemove_relative- Move mouse pointer to relative position
click- Click on mouse buttons
(from git page)
lots of what i use isn't there yet. I need the complete set

I also use emacs quite a lot as a writer, which runs under xwayland, breaking the clipboard sync between emacs's kill ring and xorg's clipboard.

Did you not read what I typed? I had to apply it AT LEAST once per session. It sometimes was two or three times it decided to break on itself. Nvidia drivers are absolute garbage, even on Linux.

Obligatory.

this
brainlets won't understand

Please stay in /tpg/.

Force composition pipeline.

It won't. The fuck wrong with you? It's just a windows forms window that pops in and out.
OK what's your hardware

its way more responsive than anything i've tried on linux

Half of tpg is just windows on thinkpads dumdum

> Nvidia puts zero effort in Linix
> haha haha, amirite?

wtf are u brainlet this rice is shit and it's basically default

It darkens and cover all your desktop, windows can't handle that shit ever.

KDE is literally the ONLY desktop that has ever given me problems with Nvidia drivers and screen tearing.

>nvidia
It's not xorg's fault, user

Because your screen tears all over the place

It is. Hate it as much as you want, unless you're running a 2009 Celeron and HDD, it's going to be as responsive as most Linux DEs.

I know for a fact that's not true on a laptop with 3rd gen i7 and 8GB of RAM. KDE neon is MUCH more responsive than Windows 10 LTSC, both on SSD.
