Another release and no vrr, big surprise.

VRR development has actually sped up massively with that huge tech fund investment in Gnome a couple months ago, but it just missed the window to be merged in Gnome 46. It will be in 47 instead.

The only reason appears to be that it wasn't completed in time, since:

In my experience, gnome-shell already has a highly variable refresh rate. Sometimes it'll go 2-5 frames without refreshing at all.

Man if only all the other DEs had already found a solution for vrr on wayland

Cool. Time to get ready for another round of broken extensions.

Gnome is weird. A dusted off a laptop that has Gnome 40, and it felt better. Nautilus didn't have broken folder trees that don't refresh, and workspaces were vertical so that movement travel is shorter (much more so on ultrawide monitors).
