> but it kills me when I see tearing and flickering in X11 windows Honestly don't think this will ever be solved in the open source world. It rarely even gets solved in the commercial world unless there is an internal design team involved who have enough power to force the dev team to solve these things. Win 10 for example has some silky smooth transitions but then you resize an explorer window and it flickers black. So many people don't even seem to notice it but for some of us it's nails on a chalkboard.
