--- Comment #150 from Mahendra Tallur <ma...@free.fr> --- |OT : to users] Hi ! I'm sorry for adding noise, I would just like to express a piece of advice to *users* like me. As it's a longstanding problem affecting many people. 1) there are technical considerations that we cannot grasp ; but numerous efforts were put in the past, and the very nature of the Nvidia drivers makes it difficult to solve this problem. Workaround were attempted in the past with no satisfying result. 2) You can get a semi-acceptable state by applying work-around but it's never that great. (disabling automatic composition interruption ; enabling triple buffering) 3) it's not that great either under Gnome. You still get sub-optimal performance on the desktop (I tried & compared Gnome Shell performance with an Intel HD) ; you still have to apply tweaks for tearing in some apps (Totem, browsers for instance). It's acceptable, but that's also a compromise... 4) believe me, the difference in terms of general usability is so huge, it's worth downgrading and switching to a different GPU vendor, if you're not a big gamer. I settled with a very slow and cheap AMD RX550. Gaming is OK but desktop performance is stellar (as it is with Intel HD drivers). No more tearing, no more KDE panel crash, no workaround. You also benefit from : open source drivers, Wayland session, Lakka now works and eventually from the realtime-kwin ;-), no tweak, constant 60 FPS desktop... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
