While I'm aware my DE (Enlightenment: the DE people love to hate!) is not commonly used and not supported on MX it seems to not be affected, it's apps and dialogs don't flicker and all compositing works as expected and the clarity of the text and widgets is on par with Windows. While it seems it might be an 'unknown' factor if Enlightenment was the problem here wouldn't it show the Video quirks within it's own applications? If it isn't the DE then is there any logical reason that GTK3 apps in particular are acting up? Have any nVidia Users here had something similar happen and can share any wisdom? Is it possible some nVidia Control Panel settings are causing this? I can screencapture the Video quirks if that would be useful. Or is the only option to wait for the Linux Drivers to catch up..?
This is my main production machine where AVL is built and it is a dual boot with Windows 10 where the nVidia card not only works but it has literally knocked hours off encoding and rendering times. These Video quirks are very offputting to the point where I may need to move my build setup to a much weaker and slower Thinkpad with no such issues.
