Tearing and stutters in fullscreen emulators under GNOME Wayland (NVIDIA)
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.

I LOVE GNOME - but it's completely unusable.
You can grab the patch from https://github.com/KyleGospo/gnome-vrr and build it.

Losing hope for GNOME Wayland VRR

GNOME 44 is in the Testing repos now!
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)

Why no gsync under wayland?
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.

Gnome VRR PKGBUILD
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.

What is your favorite desktop environment?
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.

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

Podman v4.2.0 Released
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?

Podman 4.2.0
[2]: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL
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.
- Confused... and amazed.

First time I ever paid for fedora
Lol, you could have sideloaded it for free.
