From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use kitty and I was running at like .9 transparency I think? And after a while it'd cause the weirdest artifacts and ghosting and such on my monitor. I just turned transparency off and it's been fine since. I'm sure it's my monitor and nothing to do with kitty or any other underlying software or drivers. But it was strange.
Yeah, did get these sorts of issues with the same setup (me when im a nixos user). Tested both kitty and hyprland transparency, they were both kinda borked. After some time, tearing commenced and i turned off all transparency.
