Made the switch this weekend :) From Win 11 to Mint 22. Haven't run into any real issues really. I have the occasional screen tear on some videos in firefox though. Haven't searched around enough yet to figure that out, but otherwise all good.
Sounds like you need to turn on hardware acceleration.
Is that a per-app thing that can be done in Mint? Pretty much only get tearing in firefox when playing video, and I tried the 'layers.acceleration.force-enabled true' setting in about:config for firefox, but that didn't really make a difference.
Shouldn't have to go that far. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
