Well , how would you talk about it ? <| sep |> It ' s a retirement home for old priests , she was a nurse or something . <| sep |> We ' re not Type A people like those rBMW guys I kid , of course <| sep |> They should ' ve got my story . airMan surprises shift by actually doing work . LUL <| sep |> This was in Canada <| sep |> That was always one of the greatest things about Linux Mint , at least 17 . 117 . 3 I believe it was . The compositor forced vsync for all applications so you got no tearing in anything . Then along came 18 and totally borked it for me . I ended up needing to change the clutter options to sync to vblank , and also set gfx . xrender to true in Firefox ' s options . Anyway , yes , several compositors such as compton can do their own vsync , but as the other commenters have said , this force composition pipeline may do it better . If you ' re on other GPUs you should up how to do it for your particular one , but failing that , you should be able to do it through the compositor .
