Since Unity is being shit canned, I'm thinking of going back to Xubuntu. I've been wanting to go back anyways but the last time I did the screen tearing was too much and too noticeable after using Unity for a while.
I keep getting referred to Compton, but insofar it has never gotten rid of it completely.
Now the question is, is there a definitive way to get rid of screen tearing?

yes its called wayland and its not ready yet
i only think fedora is doing it at the moment, kde plasma 5 is betting big on it, will probably be the 2020s when i finally see it in cinnamon :('''''

What is your graphics card?
if you have an nvidia card you can use the latest drivers and use the forcefullcompositionpipeline option
Install Lumina.

Compton works fine for me. Did you use this settings?backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";
shadow = false;
And did you remember to automatically start it with your session?

Last time I tried I don't remember seeing those settings. Will look into it though.

You meant to say "so far". Really triggers my autism when people try to use fancy words and can't even use them right

Not really a "fancy" word, but ok.
