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).

The third buffer comes into play if you want to start working on the next frame _before_ the switch has occurred. So you start drawing in C, and if the right time should hit, the display system can still flip A and B. In this case, triple buffering gave you a head-start with drawing the frame in C.

Going further, if you complete the frame in C still before the A/B switch has happened, you queue up C as the next frame, instead of B. Then, you can start working on the next frame again in B. With this scheme, there is no sense in having more buffers than three.

Wishful thinking. I do 1st and 2nd level support on several hundred Linux desktops.

KDE isn't even close to Gnome when it comes to stability and Wayland support -- I mean: seriously? Wayland is a decade old.

And the last time I saw a stable KDE is two decades ago. I'm so annoyed by the crowd recommending it.

I'm tired of DrConqi leaving hundreds of useless systemd units behind and triggering countless alarms. Sucks, big time!
