How Can I Get VRR to Work Smoothly on All My Games?

-

I’m trying to figure out how to make Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) work consistently across all my games. For instance, I run into issues with The Last of Us Part 2 where VRR won’t engage unless I switch to windowed mode and then back to exclusive fullscreen. It’s become quite frustrating to deal with every time I launch the game. Just so you know, I’m using Fedora 42 with Gnome. Any tips or tricks?

I’ve got a lot of games installed and haven’t faced any problems with VRR on Plasma. It could be worth checking your GPU compatibility too.

I haven’t had any issues with VRR on KDE Fedora, and it works great for all my games. Maybe you could consider switching to KDE, as it seems to handle VRR better? But I understand you’re enjoying Gnome as a beginner Linux user!

Which GPU are you using? Sometimes the drivers can affect how VRR performs.
