It is. But every week I see they’ve been doing work on it.
Apparently there’s been an issue in which exiting some fullscreen programs causes the cursor framerate to come out of sync with the content on the display, causing cursor flicker.
I think Plasma also had this issue, but pushed the feature anyway then ironed out the kinks while it was in production. Now it works pretty well.
Gnome, sometimes frustratingly, doesn’t really release things until they think they’re perfect and as bug-free as possible.
And I get it, and agree, it’s led to Gnome being ridiculously polished and about as bug-free as an up-to-date DE can get.
But sometimes I’m just like damn Gnome this must be slowing down your development
Plasma never had this issue in any release, VRR has worked exactly the same since it was introduced until Plasma 6 (where there’s some improvements for the “always” mode)
Tbh I always disable VRR because I find the flicker in games and full screen video way too distracting. At first I thought it was my previous VA monitor but the exact same thing happens on my OLED.
Still no VRR baked into version 46 is a bummer.

This isn’t normal though, it shouldn’t flicker.
Likely a driver issue. A lot of complaints on the AMD side right now relate to VRR.
