 Hey everybody, this is Brian. This video is part explanation, part test. So I've been suffering from something called screen tearing. If you have no idea what that is, this little graphics, you can see how the sidewalk is kind of broken. This is probably a better example. You see how the screen is just horribly tearing. That's your graphics driver not really working well with your operating system. So for Linux it's just been absolutely horrible. I keep thinking that I get the problem fixed and it got to the point last night. I almost just chucked Linux right in the trash and switched back to something different. This little command right here, this force composition pipeline on, has been my go-to for years and years and it just worked. So I would log in. I'd run that command and then I could record video because what would happen is if I was recording video, even simple video like this, and let's just say, you know, as I'm typing, whoops, I'm going on very little sleep today so bear with me here. You know, I'm not writing anything super complex at all, but as I'm writing, you notice how there's IntelliSense and Autocomplete and all these little great things that make our lives super easy. Well, yeah, they would just force the screen to re-render and they would be video tearing and the screen would just be unusable in the video playback. But as I'm typing and talking, everything looked just fine. It was in the video playback where it was just horrendous. Now it's doing something like this. This right here would just set it right off. You see how I have the tooltip with the IntelliSense and Autocomplete. Yeah, it would just, you couldn't even see the screen in the video playback. It was ridiculous. Now, doing something like this, see how the screen is transparent. That would really piss it off. What I found really newest version of Linux Mint 19.1, I had a failed upgrade so I had to blow away the entire partition, which was really frustrating as well. But this Enable V Blank and Disable Composition, do nothing. The Nvidia driver just ignores it, so you have to go in here, do a sudo apt install nvidia settings, run the nvidia settings, go to OpenGL and Disable, sync for V Blank and allow flipping reboot, and then knock on wood, everything just works. Very frustrating. So, Linus says it way better than I ever could. Bad, because Nvidia tries to sell chips, a lot of chips into the Android market, and Nvidia has been the single worst company we've ever dealt with. So, Nvidia, fuck you.
