I wonder if this will also fix the problem i have with my mouse cursor only drawing at what seems like 24 fps. It is noticeably laggier than in KDE.

It has something to do with drawing, because over some surfaces it doesn't happen, but all gtk native apps exhibit it. This is a 7900x with an intel a750 graphics card. It should not happen.

Cursors are generally rendered with a different mechanism than the rest of the screen. What you are describing sounds a lot like a problem with VRR.

My main screen does not have VRR. It runs at 60hz.

As always, you should lodge a bug, there has been some improvements in mouse rendering about 3 months ago iirc, but I don't remember specific details.

There are already a couple of mutter bug reports regarding cursor stuttering. Mine is bound to be related to one of those.

Anyway, I realized I really don't like gnome. I used it for 13 months and installed all different extensions to deal with issues. Then I realized that this is just the mac os experience, and that I personally really don't like it. Now I am migrating to KDE, which takes 10 minutes to configure and can then be foegotten, and I wont get a lousy experience if any extensions are incompatible with the next update of gnome (which happened on every major update).
