Gnome was already pretty great for accessibility (for a Linux DE anyway), and I'm glad to see that it's getting continued work.

Usually (understandably) it's overlooked

Also nice to hear them actually explaining why VRR hasn't been enabled yet - there are still kinks to work out. Reddit/Lemmy told me it's just because Gnome devs are evil pieces of shit who hate their users.

Please finish this damn variable refresh rate already!!

I feel you. If I could I'd help with implementation but I am dumb so I have no idea what the hell they doin

Dor Askayo is joining the team to continue their work on variable refresh rate (vrr) support in Mutter

Hell yeah, hopefully this makes it in time for Gnome 46.

Now that askayo is officially part of gnome, I hope that vrr is shipped with gnome 46 as an experimental feature at the very least

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.
