Tearing protocol merged for XWayland. Wayland gets closer to being suitable for gaming purposes
gitlab.freedesktop.org
Many Linux users have cited Wayland's forced vsync as a blocker for gaming related scenarios. This patch adds tearing support into Xwayland!
And here I am, having gamed on Wayland for years. :)
Some people are more sensitive to input latency and frame stutter than others. Personally I think they're very important things to optimize for and make a big difference for how games feel and play on a platform.
Oh yes, always good to have them improve it more and more. :)
Let's go! Hella hype for this! 💞
LFG that was something I've been hoping got added! I'm not even a big gamer, but I like it when I do game.
That's great news. I still don't get it that it took that long to get this fixed.
I am impatient for all this stuff as well, but I guess it is important to get this stuff right as Wayland will probably be the basis of the Linux graphics stack for the next two decades.
