Summary: Wayland doesn't support disabling VSync (always
tearing)
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First unspecified

Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

DESCRIPTION
KDE announced it will become Wayland only on 6.8
Wayland doesn’t work for me, because of forced VSync, that i cannot turn off.
Vsync adds input delay at everything. I use instant animations on Plasma I want
my windows to tear, because the input latency is very noticeable and unbearable
- so unbearable that the only option I have is to use x11/xlibre.
I want to have the ability to fully and always turn off vsync (permanent
tearing enable).
How can that be achieved? Can this be finally developed after years of waiting?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install wayland
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
VSync is always on
EXPECTED RESULT
Ability to turn off vsync
