Question to help me increase my understanding on what’s going on in the Linux desktop stack. I’ve heard Gnome doesn’t support VRR while KDE does.

Why does this matter, isn’t Wayland or X11 the one that would ultimately need to support VRR? Basically when running a game that I want to use VRR with, why does it matter what my desktop environment is doing?

    Gnome and KDE have their own Wayland compositors. Wayland is a protocol not a program itself.

      Ah that makes a lot more sense. Thanks!
