What the FUCK is this shit? What is this shitty operating system?

Windows 10

Did you try turning it off then back on again?

>>61661092
Neither this nor changing the desktop manager does anything. Even forced vsynch and triple buffering in nvidia-settings

>>61661026
>mint is shit
And water is wet.

>>61661026
Vsync on linux is hard for some reason despite every other OS not having an issue. You will get this shit on ubuntu unless you have the magical supported GFX chip

Just wait for wayland bruh it's right around the corner

>>61661117
>not using the integrated graphics

why???

>>61661202
Because my 750M is much more powerful than it and I need my RAM for a RAMDisk.

>>61661137
It's an X11 issue. You can enable v-sync in the compositor but I think it adds 2 frames of latency instead of the usual 1 frame for v-sync, but I'm not certain about that.

>>61661182
Can you tl;dr it? Wikipedia says it's already out.

>>61661169
THANKS

>>61661026
layer 8 problem

>>61661275
it's been "out" for a long time, but it has to be supported by applications, unless you just want to use a terminal and rotate windows 360°

>>61661026
that's what you get for not using upstream ubuntu

i don't use gnome, why did you assume that?
I use sway

>>61661169
Holy fuck. Into the trash literally every guide on how to fix screen tearing goes.

>>61661026
Install drivers faggot or otherwise your GPU is too weak

>>61664030
except for AMD or Intel users
they can keep using the other guides

>>61661026
Install compton

>>61664030
>>61661169
This did not fix my problem.

>>61664068
The desktop manager? I'm running Xfwm4 + Compositing, so I should use + Compton instead?
Why Compton, what's so good about it?

>>61664142
Compton is a compositor, not a desktop manager. It did fix screen tearing for me on my arch install, but you should have an existing compositor that can handle it too. Might be worth a try, either way.

>>61664469
Which do you think is the best?

>>61664549
Whichever one eliminates your screen tearing. Compton is much less fancy than compiz. Also, not sure if there's a graphical way to configure compton in ubuntu, so you may need to edit a conf file to enable vsync. I know you should have a gui for compton, so you could try that too if it's easier.

>>61664579
>I know you should have a gui for compiz*

>>61664579
Thanks, I'll have a look. Generally, I'm just looking for any sort of "synchronisation" and not some meme term, right?

>>61664609
It should be vsync, yeah.

>>61664676
My hardware isn't the problem by a long shot. What's your compositor?

go to Driver Manager and install the nonfree one you dipshit niggerlover

>>61664933
You mean GPU driver? I am running it.

>Being surprised that Mint is dogshit

Someone didn't do their homework.

>>61665128
So what's the most visually appealing distro? I want transparency and lighting effects and shit.

>>61664914
compwhiz.

>>61665141
A distro can mostly look like anything with the right packages and configuration.

If you mean out of the box, no modifications? Probably Kubuntu. It has updated to use Wayland, which gives it much more capability for transparency, blurring, and other such things that you'd normally expect from Compiz (which is now a dead end.)

>>61665370
I see, so what should I download/tweak to make Kubuntu make use of my GPU?

>>61665430
eh..

Ubuntu's got repositories out the ass. I think it should support most hardware you have.

KDE (the "front end" of Kubuntu) has internal tools for editing settings, so you don't have to go muddling around downloading special packages and editing config files.

Just go ahead and look up some videos of KDE online and that should give you a feel for what KDE is like.

Also. Since kubuntu is ubuntu, remember to sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to make sure nothing is broken or out-of-date.

>>61665488
So it doesn't auto update itself like Mint?

>>61661026
Install Arch

>>61665554
1. Mint is based on Ubuntu.
2. I am not aware of Mint being rolling-release.
3. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu can upgrade without the terminal.
4. I'm also pretty sure upgrading with the terminal is trivially easy anyway.

Anyways, just do what I said.

There is your problem.
Stop being a nigger and use Cinnamon.

You didn't install your gpu driver, and turned on wobbly windows. Retard.
