>linux is still plagued with screen tearing problems and lack of video support
why would anyone in their right mind use it as a home system?

I have seen screen tearing in Nvidia drivers but never native ones.

special snowflake OS

video games are for children

go back to your board

Only happens in X because it has no frame sync. Wayland fixes this issue

This. And it can be resolved with one click.
You can also temporary try ' nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }" ' in terminal to see if it works.

Happens while watching videos too you retard

>screen tearing
>video support
I'm lucky that this pile of garbage even has a working screen. And that's why I use Linux.

Not everybody into being cucked.

If the end user needs to touch the console you've failed as a desktop OS dev

Lies, its jewvidia that is tearing. Intel and AMD is working nice.

You can always go into the cards settings and toggle vsync on or off, even in Linux, and depending on your cards manufacturer.

It doesn't work with some cards by the way, like mine.

Right because gaming and technology are totally unrelated. Technology culture and gaming culture are SO different. I think you must Sup Forums lost

Are you using the latest Ubuntu release?

Stop being stupid, console command does same thing as checkbox visible in the picture.

holy based user. Thanks for this.

Wayland allows someone to fix the issue, but itself does not fix the issue.

Not everyone plays games, OP.

No problem. If you used terminal command remember that it works only until next restart, so use settings panel for permanent effect.
Settings panel, on the other hand, works only AFTER restart.

>Wayland
Any word on when Wayland gets implemented in main distributions by default? I found Fedora uses it and Debian planned to use it

>implying you can play games on linux

>What is SteamOS?

That is easily fixable, with googling.

But I still haven't figured out how to install bumblebee without killing my installation and making it unbootable.

Actually you can even play some of them better than on W10.

>implying ded project will ever be default when they are still bickering over implementations

Arch Wiki. I did it recently and it worked brilliantly. Just read the instructions a few times before executing them. I remember there being a certain detal that didn't stand out very clearly the first time I went through it.

I read the wiki.
Multiple times.
And it still killed my system.
optirun even worked, until I tried to turn my computer on again.

I even installed stock debian and used their wiki.
It was also unbootable, both using proprietary and open source drivers(this was expected).

Why would anyone use Botnet10?

>what is windows 7?

Abandonware?

The arch wiki is almost always wrong on that shit. Same with PCI passthrough for example, where it says you must use the vga and multifunction flags, where either of them will prevent you from booting except in very specific circumstances not covered or endorsed by the guide.
In short, don't believe the guide, or google for that matter. Read the docs instead. It's sad that this is how it is, but what else can you do.

vwestlife please go home and take your faggotry with you

No, my 7950 and older Intel chip in my laptop tears, too.

Luckily, both can be forced to work.

>caring about software updates

Which cards (or driver versions?) have this option?
I have a GTX 470 with the 367.57 driver and this is what I see.

I have checkbox in nvidia driver 375.39.
You can put this to xorg.conf:
Option "metamodes" "DVI-I-2: 1920x1200_60 +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }, DVI-I-3: 1680x1050_60 +1920+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
Just need to replace DVI-I-2 to DFP-0, and DVI-I-3 to your second output (I don't see it in screenshot).

>You can put this to xorg.conf:
below line: Section "Screen"

For me it's 378.13, but it was there long before. Maybe checkbox is disabled for multi monitor settings?
You should try terminal command first, if it gives you blackscreen just restart PC.
Then try and be sure to backup xorg.conf before you change anything, as it may end with restoring your setting in text mode!

Fixed it again, this should work for you:
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1920x1080_60 +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }, DFP-2: 1600x1200_60 +1920+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
Btw, I'm using gtx460

no screen tearing.

I'll give it a try, thanks!

werks on my machine

Using compton reduces screen tearing for me.
