Playing some Counter-Strike 2 and then a GNOME donation notification pops up 😅

Yeah, i get it, wayland is so terrible, and pipewire even so, why do we need to do stuff in other ways when the old ways worked just fine for my specific use and had no problems that I understood anyway
X11 is broken on anything but a bog standard 1080p 60hz monitor. It cant handle dual monitor support, it cant handle dual refresh rates, HDR, DPI scaling, NVIDA anything, High refresh rates, synced frames.
I have a 1080p@120hz and 768p@50hz at all times with no issues, I have TearFree enabled on xorg, so I’ve never understood what people meant with this
do you have an nvidia card?
No
ok then you are in the 3% of people not having this issue congrats.
Your screen tears and your dpi scaling doesnt work. Thats not "working just fine". Its not that people dont understand X11 its that people are getting tired of being told to ignore half their features not working because a few people are used it them never working.
I had some issues back when I used an Nvidia GPU, but since switching to AMD, it's just a smooth as X11 from a bugs perspective, and has better performance and features.
