Latest sprint with MX18 has been the most positive yet!
Pros:
-sleep mode issue (not waking up from) has been resolved;
-boot/shutdown speed = Solus Budgie (best IMO);
-wallpapers choice just fine;
-the installation process is a breeze.
Cons:
-just a bit of screen tearing.
-did take 3 reboots before HP printer was able to work.

Screen tearing really depends on the hardware of the user and is also happening on a regular MX18 install. But that can easily be fixed after the install.

Compositor off doesn't make a difference.
KDE distros don't usually have this issue.
If you have other tips, i'm game!

What graphic card do you have? Have you installed the Nvidia driver (in case you use Nvidia)? Maybe you are using the wrong driver.

Thanks, but Compton makes no change happen either.
At first i thought it might be a Firefox thing, but it happens in Vivaldi as well.
The "horizontal line" appears more precise in the latter.

I can create that .txt file with LibreOffice but can't save or paste it into that folder.

Create it in FeatherPad, and see if that helps.
