hey guys, i really struggle with every linux distro i use since i have an old laptop(lenovo touchpad T420) which u can guess is old and has an integated intel graphics 3000.
i already tried to play with the compositor settings but no effect, as well as trying to change kernel parameter which i read on arch wiki … but yes how can i solve this issue.
note: i am running Manjaro Kde with the latest kernel (i also tried old lts kernels but didn’t change anything)

I have used T420 extensively - sold it several years back - but I had no issues with the intel gpu.
Have you tried using xorg config for intel?
Please use the search function - there is plenty of info available - and not every system is identical - search the forum for 20-intel.conf or intel tearing.
i have searched many many time and tried many solutions but nothing seems to work, i only find trouble with desktops like kde and gnome xfce seems stable when i used it, but i really can’t stand a normal desktop since i enjoy graphical animations and effects
i can’t find anything there about tearing or graphical issues

so far i have added these options in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Option "TearFree" "true"
Option "DRI" "false"
EndSection
i can’t tell yet if the tearing is gone but i will try to use the apps i use usually when it happens and then i can relate weather it is gone or not
