First thing I usually switch off on Linux is the compositor. It's not that bad typically (you notice latency only if you look for it), but why add unnecessary latency...
- solarkraft 6y agoOn Wayland it's difficult to disable the compositor :-) With which setup have you been able to achieve the lowest latency? I'm currently trying to get an overview of the situation.
- noir_lord 6y agoI went to Gnome over Cinnamon because with an RTX2080 Gnome on wayland is butter smooth and janky as hell on Cinnamon. The difference was vast. It’s a shame because I much prefer Cinnamon, so much I considered just shoving a cheap RX AMD card in for work stuff/Linux.
- chrismorgan 6y agoI loved wobbly windows in Ubuntu a decade ago, on my first laptop. Switched to i3 in Arch Linux with no compositor on my second laptop. I think wobbly windows was the only thing I missed from Compiz.
