Finally, my Ubuntu box has screen tearing all the time. I'm on good hardware with pretty standard 1080p monitors so I've been absolutely baffled that screen tearing is so frequent in standard desktop use.
I think Wayland is supposed to have better support for various DPI settings and mixed DPI settings.
- eikenberry 7y agoHaving a compositor for X11 will help with the tearing some, but not completely. This will be a nice step up once Wayland is ready in other ways (mainly more window managers and a few other tools that don't quite have equivalents to their X counterparts yet).
