SOLVED - “Allow screen tearing” was ON and caused this issue.

I have some constant stuttering on my current setup. Every 4-5 seconds, almost like a hiccup, I drop about 100 ms worth of frames.

This has been persistent through several GPU driver updates and I’m tired of trying to troubleshoot it. I don’t know what the exact cause is. Any ideas?

Also, related note, how easy is it to migrate from one distro to another? I am thinking about trying something else - maybe base Fedora or Arch - to hopefully have better performance.

    Just check your driver version, today I read about a bad Nvidia driver and everyone saying to roll back.

      But that’s the thing - it’s been a persistent issue over the past 4 drivers. Just a permanent stutter no matter what I’m doing.
