Question to help me increase my understanding on what’s going on in the Linux desktop stack. I’ve heard Gnome doesn’t support VRR while KDE does.

Why does this matter, isn’t Wayland or X11 the one that would ultimately need to support VRR? Basically when running a game that I want to use VRR with, why does it matter what my desktop environment is doing?

Yeah I don’t want to insult the KDE folks but I miss Gnome as well.

It is embarrassing as hell that the Gnome folks haven’t merged that commit after this many years. They also don’t have any concrete steps laid out to the contributors to get it merged. It feels like they just don’t give a shit about section of their community and it’s pretty disrespectful to the original contributor to give them no path forward. End rant.
