Where's my upstream explicit sync lads
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Should all be in place. Even nvidia driver support. It's one of the rare cases where I actually support nvidia on a technical level, that is, having explicit sync is good. I can also understand that they didn't feel like implementing proper implicit sync (hence all the tearing etc) when it's a technically inferior solution.
OTOH, they shouldn't have bloody waited until now to get this through. Had they not ignored wayland for a literal decade this all could've been resolved before it became an issue for end-users.
Openbox here kek
Straight Outta Compton.
No feelings either way, I started using X since the last millennium and have been on Wayland without problems (Gnome or sway, never anything more than integrated graphics card) for about four years now.
But I really wish there was an fvwm for Wayland. And Window Maker.
Why is CDE not on the list?
