this warrants a new monitor for me, been holding out over a year with my old display, waiting for something and now I know what that was

Can’t wait to try it!

Looking forward to giving VRR a shot again. Last time I tried a couple years ago was pretty underwhelming on a couple different machines. Some games worked well with it, but a lot of software felt subtly broken. A lot of weird micro-stuttering and stuff just not feeling smooth even when the average framerate was high compared to boring synced 144 hz.

Wait, so if I get a 144hz monitor, only now will that work in say, standard Fedora or Ubuntu?
