Tell HN: Gnome on Wayland Is Amazing

I started using it (about 4 or 5 years ago, I think) mostly because I really don't like tearing. I never got a completely tearing-free Xorg setup working for me.

Now that you mentioned tearing, I noticed that I can't even remember when was the last time I saw one. Before switching to Wayland/GNOME and then Wayland/Sway there was a dark era where I was fighting/struggling to keep a tearing-free video experience and crazy config to keep my keyboard layout in-sync when switching desktops/windows etc. Really glad that there is another option on the table.

Fwiw, I have zero tearing on KDE Plasma+Nvidia on X11 with VSync enabled.
