Jovian-NixOS VS gnome-vrr

I really want one of these overpowered handhelds so I can run https://jovian-experiments.github.io/Jovian-NixOS/ as a semi-portable daily driver

Same. Also recently added a steam deck to the fleet with https://jovian-experiments.github.io/Jovian-NixOS/

UPDATE: People from the Steam Deck discord community recommended this one: https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS

The only thing relevant to this that I know is https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS.

Neat! Personally I went the extra mile and went with NixOS + Jovian-NixOS (to get the Deck's steam-session) on mine. It still requires a couple of workarounds for broken functionality (like SD cards not automounting due to the FHS container, fixed by using a udev rule + replacement script to notify Steam) but otherwise works like a charm!

Actually... https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS

https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/Jovian-NixOS/ might be of interest.

  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.
