I like transparent terminals and vsync. That’s my only reason for picom

My setup is 4k on two displays. The Intel GPU can’t handle them on 60Hz I guess. There is a thinkpad dock involved as well, so I think I’m stuck with HDMI and the dedicated gpu. I tried a lot of things :/
I’d love to run hybrid graphics with free drivers, don’t get me wrong.
I also love running steam games and video acceleration and with my previous setup it was mostly unstable. My current setup just works, with minor effects like reduced battery times and picom bugs.
I use i3 on a thinkpad p50 with hybrid graphics (Intel + nvidia). Works sort of stable if I force the use of the dedicated card, but I’m getting like 1,5h of battery.
Video acceleration seems to work most of the times, but for a few weeks I have problems with picom freezing my screen, capping fps in games and video. Any ideas? It took me hours to have it running sort of smooth, so I’m hesitant to try out sway and ruin my daily setup
uberspace might be what you are looking for. you get a fully maintained mail setup, 10GB of storage, a dozen preconfigured services, a nice wiki and a very cool team of nerds. starts at 5€/month and you can buy your own domain elsewhere (i use inwx).
I explicitly bought an AMD CPU and GPU and did not have any trouble with both of them ever since
