Screen tears horizontally, not vertically

Screen can tear however it wants to! Don't stifle its creativity! ๐Ÿ˜›

i think i saw a case where the screen teared diagonally. but that was more so a software problem i believe

Uhhh I have both!!!

How? Well let's explain my setup that any Nvidia gpu on Linux hates.

We have a 2k monitor on the bottom and a 1080p tv on the top.

Now on LinuxMint I have screen tearing vertically (especially when proton is running) and horizontally in the area where the two screens meet.

On debian I only had horizontal screen tearing occasionally.

OG Steam Deck tears vertically.

That's because the orientation of the screen is actually portrait, and it is rotated to landacape in software.
