     @BrodieOnLinux a developer which is probably as much of a gamer as me with XBill and FrozenBubble…

     @BrodieOnLinux Well isn't VRR also broken in practice with XOrg?
     And I would be surprised if VSync wouldn't work in wayland (mutter is another issue, specially given how abismal gnome is at participating in wayland).

     @jokeyrhyme @BrodieOnLinux Ah the usual gamer™ bullshit.
     Frame perfect/committing isn't VSync.
     You can commit frames independently of refresh-rate (including committing more) in a Wayland client even without the tearing-control extension.
     Which is about telling how the *compositor* will handle your frames to the GPU.

     @lanodan @BrodieOnLinux I believe VSync is mandatory by default in Wayland, and there's a recent protocol for an app to explicitly opt out of VSync in favour of tearing https://wayland.app/protocols/tearing-control-v1

     @jokeyrhyme @BrodieOnLinux It's not you personally but it's been going on almost in a loop for years and really makes me wish gaming community would do something at this point.
     It's like nearly impossible to mention anything slightly Wayland and Gaming related without something almost baseless.

     @lanodan Nope, VRR works just fine on Xorg
