I'm new to Linux and mainly installed it just so that I can get that extra bit of performance out of my low-end system (I play minecraft by the way). I've noticed that when compositing was turned on I experienced a lot of input latency which resulted in me losing a couple of matches in minecraft 1.8.9 pvp. At first I thought it was probably just the extra fps and the smoothness which I had never experienced in windows and wasn't used to. Then I realized it WAS actually input latency.
Then after fiddling around with some settings, I managed to discover that by turning off the compositor the input lag was no more. But then a new problem arose-Screen Tearing. The screen tearing was immense and it was kind of annoying. I tried installing a new compositor (picom) but the problem persisted. I tired turning the TearFree option using this command- xrandr --output eDP --set TearFree on -but then input latency came back. So what I am looking for is a way to make it so that I can get rid of input lag without having to experience screen tearing.
I'm not sure of all the information that I should be providing (as I'm new to Linux) in this post but I will post what I know. (If any other crucial information is required then do tell me and I'll provide it at the earliest). Here's the out put of inxi -Fxxxrz
