Is screen tear something that can be avoided in X11? That's mostly the only reason why I bother with Wayland

Yes, using a compositor. I use kwin's compositing with Intel graphics, no tearing.

Yes.

I don't have any screen tearing on X11.

Although I can't tell you if that's how it was out-of-box, or if I set it up to be tear free, because... I don't remember.

Remember the part about things just working and me not having to do anything with this for many years? Yep, that's why. (:

Yeah. I’m using Fedora 38 / GNOME 44, with two 1440p 170 Hz monitors and one 4K 120 Hz TV. For me it works out of the box, and I have not made any configurations myself to make it work.
