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.

(SOLVED) Window Tearing(?) Issue on Nobara (sh.itjust.works)

EDIT

So anything I said below was all a lie, it turns out that the issue was kde and my monitors, which are 240hz. I swapped to gnome and the issue disappeared, and then I installed bazzite kde on a second drive and the issue reappeared. Setting my refresh rate to 120hz stopped the flickering and upon setting it back to 240hz I do notice an appreciable decrease in artifacting. I have no idea what to do with this information, but if anyone is experiencing this try just decreasing your refresh rate for your monitors.

Howdy,

Just installed Nobara again and am trying to figure out why this is happening. I think it's a firefox thing since I haven't seen it happen in any other application; basically anytime I do a lot of scrolling, the firefox window breaks down and I can see my desktop background behind it. It always happens in the bottom right cornerish part of the window. I'm up to date on all updates as far as I'm aware. I did some googling and checking out the nobara discord but I couldn't find anything related. I tried recording my screen via spectacle to show the issue, but it wouldn't capture the issue.

Any help would be appreciated; I am a linux beginner so dumbing down any info you have would be nice. Thanks!
