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.

What's the problem with the current VRR support? I don't recall ever having problems with G-Sync.
VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.
Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Thanks, makes sense. I'll have to read up on this before I jump ship to AMD.
Does it currently only work for fullscreen games or something like that? This might be more about full operating/windowing system support. Like changing the setting in GNOME Settings, having VRR on the desktop for normal windows, etc.
