I’m not super familiar with the differences between x11 and Wayland, but I’ve been experiencing some screen tearing in games with x11 that I don’t remember experiencing in the past. I’ve heard Wayland is more performant, but does that mean anything when gaming?

I am using an AMD gpu with just out-of-the-box settings. No additional drivers or tinkering.

    Awesome, this was super helpful! I was using multiple monitors, so that may have been my issue, but actually just decided to go back to one the week. I haven’t had much gaming time this week, so I’ll see if the tearing is resolved.

    Super excited for COSMIC!! I probably won’t upgrade right away, but the progress has looked awesome.
