Debian 12 Bookworm, plus Firefox, Chrome, or Brave browsers, works great on my desktop computers.
Sadly, web animations often exhibit screen tearing (strips of animation pixels scattered vertically/randomly on the screen) on my ancient T60 Thinkpads with Bookworm. There is no screen tearing with Debian 11 Bullseye. Nor with Debian 13 Trixie (which won't be stable for a while, and is missing some apps, or I'd upgrade now). I'm keeping the Thinkpads; they have better ergonomics than any current laptop, but sadly have only 3 GB of RAM. My preferred-for-text-writing-and-coding 4W:3H screens; some have homebrew 2048W*1536H pixel screens. Perhaps Bookworm wants more RAM for animation buffering. Probably just a coding error. BTW, I'm keeping Debian - it is so much cleaner and faster than the old Redhat and newer Ubuntu crap I've endured for years. So lets not surrender to a different problem, OK? ----- So, the ask: What should I read or learn about so I can debug the screen tearing that Bookworm inflicts on my beloved Thinkpads?
