Finally back on a gnome distro that supports GRUB2, and loving it so far. The exception being that every time something moves, there is a weird line in the middle of my monitor that almost “splits” the screen in half, like it’s off by a pixel or something. this isn’t really present in static images though. it’s pretty infuriating. when trying to record an example to share with you guys, i noticed it for whatever reason just doesn’t even happen while recording my screen with GPUScreenRecorder. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?btw, this didn’t happen on mint when i was using that distro. Thank you!

    Sounds like you’re experiencing screen tearing, an effect where the refresh rate of your monitor can’t keep up with your graphics card. This section of the Arch Wiki might be helpful.

    What kind of monitor do you have, and does it have a configurable refresh rate?

        shit, you’re right. I’m unfamiliar with Fedora and Gnome. I also found this thread in the NVidia developer forums describing what sounds like the same issue with a similar setup, but the proposed workaround doesn’t sound feasible.

      i have an msi g something monitor, goes up to 165 hz. And it’s configurable, or at least i’m pretty sure. i changed it from 60 to 165 after i installed fedora, but i did that through fedora’s gui

        No problem. I actually don’t know, but I did find this arch forum post with a suggestion about kernel boot parameters (although yours would be different) this Does that picture look similar (although more dramatic)?

          sorry, page not found. but another user linked an arch wiki page and I think that will work
