Hi, I'm new to Linux and so far loving it. There is one problem that I can't seem to fix, though: Screen tearing.
I notice it most when watching YouTube videos on Firefox. I tried to see if maybe it was something conflicting with the browser, so I tried Pale Moon browser (the only other browser that doesn't have the extreme screen tearing with large, random geometric shapes all over), and the normal screen tearing happens on Pale Moon when watching videos on YouTube and also scrolling up and down pages.
I have tried several remedies, such as, disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox, turning off vblank_mode for xfwm4 in the Settings Editor, and switching to the proprietary driver (it was using the Linux version of a driver automatically and saying there are no additional drivers available in the additional drivers tab of Software & Updates).
Here's my desktop info:
Model: HP p6203w
OS: Linux Lite - Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, Kernel 5.4.0-89-generic (x86_64)
Vendor: Nouveau
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 (old, I know, lol)
