>Is screen tearing a problem with all DEs
no
> or only Xfce?
it was fixed in the newest version of xfce i think
if you dont have it use something called compton
i dont have to deal with crap like that because i use windows

>>80344710
It's a universal problem with X.
Switch to Wayland.

>>80344747
This tearing shit makes me want to go back to Windows desu

>>80344758
>It's a universal problem with X.
its not
>Switch to Wayland.
that will just break other shit.

>>80344710
It's a problem with WMs and XFCE as they don't use composition.
Install Compton like >>80344747 said and it will fix your issue.

>>80344773
its their(linux users) fault for not supporting the only DE that worked out of the box with no issues (unity)

Freesync

>>80344859
Which DEs don't have tearing out of the box?

>>80344710
Xfce on Mint and Manjaro has compositing turned on by default, so it doesn't tear. I'm pretty sure Xfce 4.14 now has a working compositor so you can make it tear-free by just checking a box in your settings.

>>80344940
>out of the box
It depends on the distribution, not the DE. Also, you don't need to swap the entire DE if you don't like the compositor or the window manager. You can install and use literally any wm and compositor you want and then use it instead of xfwm.

>>80344940
You can run KDE, Gnome and MATE without tearing if you have the right options enabled. But I don't know if your distro will have them enabled by default or not.
I'm not a regular Linux user and haven't used it for at least 2 years now, so my knowlage is somewhat limited.

>>80344758
fuck off

>>80344990
I'm using Xfce 4.14 right now with compositing enabled in xfwm4-tweaks-settings but I still have tearing

>>80345017
Why so hostile? The tearing getting on your nerves?

>>80345052
Upgrade to 4.16

>>80345124
So you're suggesting going out of the way to disable the already tear fix compositor in Xfce, installing a new one amd enabling it again?

Sounds fucking retarded. Just enable the default one if for some reason it isn't on.

>>80344710
Just don't walk up any stairs on games. Problem fixed.

>>80344940
I have had the nost success with Gnome (specifically version 3.38+).

I'm an Ubuntufag, but I've had no screen tearing issues with 20.04

yeah I will get the next 200 euro -ish is Amd gpu

>>80345176
I'm not hostile, I am very calm, I'm also do not experience any tearing on my Fedora 33 Cinnamon spin. But, still, you may shove your Wayland up your arse, desu.

>>80345349
Have you tested other Fedora spins for tearing? I'm thinking of switching to Fedora LXQt. I can't go for heavier desktops because I'm on a low-powered machine

>>80344710
ive tried pretty much every DE there is (mate,gnome,kde,cinnamon,xfce,lxqt ect...)

havent had screen tearing on any of it
use whatever you want

>>80344710
Turn on frame limiter.

>>80345821
V-sync

>>80344758
No

>>80344871
Incorrect

>>80345052
Search for this issue in the arch wiki. I remember there being a config file to remove the tearing in case settings don't work.

Nigga you're using a free operating system, can you stop complaining for one single second? Holy shit

>>80344859
Xfwm has had compositing since 4.12 you absolute fucking retard. It has fuck all to do with compositing. If you're running Intel graphics, it's pretty common to get tearing with compositing if you don't enable TearFree in xorg. If you're having tearing problems, just do the following:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
         Driver      "intel"
         Option      "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Ctrl+O Ctrl+X

There, that was fucking tough.
