I finally made the switch from windows to linux; specifically manjaro. I’m getting a huge amount of screen tearing though, and none of the ‘solutions’ I’ve found have seem to work. I’m using a 1070, what am I fucking up.

Don't use vdpau.
Enable vsync in nvidia-settings.
Fire up a compositor like compton if your WM doesn't support it.

Using an Nvidia card. Seriously, I have a GTX 970 and was never able to completely eliminate screen tearing while using the proprietary driver. I use Arch btw.

I run Manjaro on a 1060 without any issues at all.

That's because you're using the default desktop enviroment that uses Manjaro which is xfce. Xfce sucks ass, with KDE.
Jace Wood
I mean, go with KDE.

What GPU? I use GNOME/Cinnamon/Budgie with AMD and get 0 tearing.
Zachary Mitchell
KDE has screen tearing too if you're using Nvidia.

Common issue, and the solution exists. It's bullshit but if you're actually committed to adapting to Linux, fixing retarded defaults is going to be a good trial by fire.

Getting past screen tearing is the first test on your way to becoming a linux user. How you react to this problem and solve it will show whether you're ready or not. Good luck.
