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.

Many Linux users have cited Wayland's forced vsync as a blocker for gaming related scenarios. This patch adds tearing support into Xwayland!

I think it should be able to be toggled on a per app basis, along with a global keyboard like X has (so I could (un)mute discord or whatever without alt tabbing over). Maybe similar to how Android does things where it asks the user for permission to do something, you could make the app request for permission and maybe some helper app that forces permissions for other apps.

I can get behind that, that'd work great for me. / I saw some app that allows certain apps force preventing suspensions, but that feels like a hacky solution, and I'd still rather be able to lock the screen, so a sort of trust or exemption to the viewport rule would be great
