Years? Ouch. That's a bit too much. I understand that the switch to triple buffering can be a lot of work, but isn't there some hacky solution to improve the situation in the mean time? Something like manually telling the GPU to be in the same mode that it's in when an external monitor is connected, at least when an the machine is plugged into a power outlet?

Once an external monitor is connected the animation becomes noticeably smoother. It looks like the OS is not properly responding to the extra processing demands by raising the CPU/GPU performance, and having an external monitor connected somehow triggers a higher performance level. This is on a System76 Darter Pro machine with Intel® Core™ i7-8565U and Intel UHD 620 running Ubuntu 21.04 in Wayland session.
