I'm a big fan of an i3(gaps) distro, but it's somewhat humorous to say "without all the visual bullshit" and have compiz included.

I see your point. I guess my meaning was more about things on the screen, rather than a lightweight GUI stack.

Alright, that makes a lot more sense. Also I installed it this morning and I'm a pretty big fan. I really like the idea to have a hotkey to show the main hotkey commands. It's such a little quality of life thing that I think greatly lowers the learning curve of i3.

On some of the most popular GPUs (intel) you get reliable VSync without compositor because synchronization logic has been removed from the chip. And while some tolerate tearing, many don't

Well, turning on TearFree option as advised by the Arch Wiki did solve tearing on my old HD5500.
