VRR development has actually sped up massively with that huge tech fund investment in Gnome a couple months ago, but it just missed the window to be merged in Gnome 46. It will be in 47 instead.

The only reason appears to be that it wasn’t completed in time, since:

On the other hand, Mutter 46 beta adds more preparations for upcoming variable refresh rate support

In my experience, gnome-shell already has a highly variable refresh rate. Sometimes it’ll go 2-5 frames without refreshing at all.

Gnome is weird. A dusted off a laptop that has Gnome 40, and it felt better. Nautilus didn’t have broken folder trees that don’t refresh, and workspaces were vertical so that movement travel is shorter (much more so on ultrawide monitors).

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.
