How do I fix something that feels irregular.

Understand hardware to firmware.

While KDE takes care of a lot of stuff we still have underlying components that might need specifics.

apk add hwinfo lshw usbutils

The idea is to modify the script according that what you are working with:

lspci | grep -i "vga.*intel"

And perhaps have to do a very few tweakz.

Underlying components

-x11 (can be selected at login screen) for better nvidia/intel legacy support (but not ideal for newer)

Better to change res/framerate using tools xrandr or in playing around with compositor settings. /etc/X11/xorg.conf and same but with .d for extra configs. This applies to a lot of software config files.

-wayland (default) but can cause issues on older/uncompatible hardware

Native scaling options More built-in control, set to replace older x11

Input/Output

For example working with a TV, checking it's framerate you can easily fix stutter by using KDE settings. Set it to the same numbers in res, scale, fps, etc.

Shit in shit out. Put a nice movie on Netflix and make sure it runs perfect.

For my tv it was 3840x2160p 60 fps on wayland with 60 fps and 200% scale. So you can couch code comfortably. Yet also watch a movie at the same time.

But you can obviously set up x11 nicely too and again might perform better depending on hardware. And the advantage is there: you can get more mature tools but a lot more setup.

Remote desktop,and often times compatibility. Again at the cost of your time :wrench:
