The recently released Linux Mint 19 “Tara” operating system features the latest Cinnamon 3.8 desktop environment, which promised to enable faster launching of apps and be more snappier than previous releases. After users’ reactions, Linux Mint devs now decided to continue improving Cinnamon on this front for the next major release, Cinnamon 4.0, due for release this year.
Among the “snappiness” improvements they’ll want to implement in the upcoming Cinnamon 4.0 desktop environment, Clement Lefebvre mentioned the removal of Vsync to eliminate a slight delay noticed when dragging a window with the mouse cursor, as well as to use “Force Composition Pipeline” in Nvidia Settings for Nvidia graphics cards to eliminate screen tearing.
