      If the system can’t keep up with the animation of e.g. Gnome’s overview, the fps halfes because of double buffered vsync for a moment. This is perceived as stutter.

      With triple buffer vsync the fps only drop a little (e .g 60 fps -> 55 fps), which isn’t as big of drop of fps, so the stutter isn’t as big (if it’s even noticeable).

        Maybe the animation a bit simpler…?

        Less animation is usually better UX in something often used, if it’s not to hide slowness of someting else.

          If by animations you mean smoothly moving the mouse and windows while badly optimized apps and websites are rendering, yes.

          Lol, why own up to adding animations the system can’t handle when you can blame app and web devs? Gnome users always know where the blame should be laid, and it’s never Gnome.
