OLED flicker on Gnome VRR? Any flicker on KDE? - Lemmy.World

I was recently lucky enough to buy an OLED monitor and it’s great. What is not so great is the amount of flickering I get in Gnome now when I have the experimental VRR setting enabled. Now all OLED monitors have a certain amount of VRR flicker, but I am comparing it to my Windows duel boot and it’s absolutely terrible under Gnome, like just a noticeable increase in the amount of flicker under both games and the desktop versus Windows. The only way I get Windows to flicker as much on the desktop is if I turn on adaptive refresh rate, which kind of appears to be what Gnome is doing all the time. Anyone else seen this in action? Any suggestions for a fix? Should I swap over to KDE for a bit until Gnome gets this straightened out or will Plasma have the same problems?

Thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop machine? - Lemmy.World

Does the community have any thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop gaming machine? My primary use with be mouse and keyboard, but the deck interface looks nice for the 10% of the time I want to use a controller. I also here that HDR and VRR work better under it then most of the DEs. Anyone out there using Bazzite for a similar use case? I’d also be curious to here about other ways people are using it.

Without VRR should I cap to a frame rate that is divisible from the max frame rate? - Lemmy.World

Background: My monitor has a local dim option that produces flicker when combined with VRR. So for games where I care about HDR I have been turning off VRR. My question is, to avoid judder and have evenly paced frames, what is the recommendation? I have a max refresh of 160 so if I can’t hit that consistently should a cap at something that divides evenly into 160? For instance, 80 or 40. Should I avoid other common frame caps, like 60 or 120?

How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher? - Lemmy.World

This is one is very confusing, which probably speaks to the current UI in Heroic. I just want to say, run this game in gamescope, so I can use HDR. I have the latest version of Heroic, installed via Flatpak as the devs recommend. If I go to configure the game in the UI it has an entire settings page dedicated to Gamescope but nothing that says “enable gamescope”. Anyone get this working?

How do I enable sharpening for FSR? - Lemmy.World

Under Windows this is an option in the AMD control panel. Not sure how to enable it. Specifically, this is for a non-native Proton game with FSR support built in. I am not using GE as I need the latest code in Proton experimental to run this game.
