From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am not sure as I've never used VRR on Wayland with an AMD GPU before, but that does sound like how its supposed to work. That's what I do with my Nvidia card when using Gsync or Freesync in X11.
At least that's how it used to work on Windows (10) Just disable v-sync ingame and freesync should take care of the tearing. Although over here, some people say that you have to enable v-sync, then Wayland by itself has v-sync, kinda making freesync irrelevant?¿? I guess I'm just gonna wait for a new release of Xwayland and for it to land on Arch's repos so that I can test it out.
