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.

Wonder what’s going on with your games. I’m running various new Windows games on Wayland with no flickering and 120+ FPS. It’s an AMD GPU though.
The steam UI is flickering and in No Mans Sky some parts are also flickering and have visible artifacts. Minetest, well, the whole window constantly and heavily flickers with whitescreen (I'd screenrecord for demonstration, but that doesn't work either.). I have no idea why. I just know that on X11 it works flawlessly without any tweaks.
Maybe one of the many Nvidia issues.
I am too uninterested in Wayland to really care. I just switch to X11 for gaming.
That is NVIDIA problem and it will be fixed soon because explicit sync support is getting merged.
