Fedora-Remix-for-WSL VS gnome-vrr

At the risk of being downvoted to hell, but to offer a different perspective, my answer is, that my favorite DE for Linux (not only Fedora) is... Windows with WSL(g). I'm a huge Fedora fan, have installed it bare-metal, but use fedoraremix WSL distro almost exclusively. The problem with that solution is that it requires an absurdly huge amount of memory to work comfortably, so I admit, that it is not a good solution for any system with less than 32GB of RAM.

You could download the msix bundle for fedora remix from Github or using winget: winget install --id whitewaterfoundry.fedora-remix-for-wsl

BTW. I'm not using Ubuntu WSL, and I'm on fedoraremix instead - you can install it for free from https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/releases. As of now it installs Fedora 35, but you can upgrade it to 36 and there you have podman 4.2.0 available for install. Maybe it would solve some of your issues?

Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.

Lol, you could have sideloaded it for free.

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kylegospo/gnome-vrr/ :

  gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['variable-refresh-rate']"

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but by enabling this: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kylegospo/gnome-vrr/ you can get vrr/vsync on Wayland for gnome, it can cause flickering but otherwise it's pretty good and got rid of any tearing and stuttering for me.

You can grab the patch from https://github.com/KyleGospo/gnome-vrr and build it.

Based on the comments in the AUR repo, I'd assume that the maintainer still invests time trying to update mutter-vrr. There seems to be a non-trivial issue when rebasing on Gnome 44, but I'm not able to assess how complex the problem actually is. (https://github.com/KyleGospo/gnome-vrr/issues/5)

Currently you can either use a Wayland DE that supports VRR, I know KDE has support for it, or use the gnome-vrr copr or build it yourself from his GitHub.

For fedora you can use https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kylegospo/gnome-vrr/

Just wanted to share my updated PKGBUILD to enable VRR in Gnome 43.2. The original author has no time to update his AUR package it seems so i updated it myself with the sources from the Fedora COPR.
