Awful game stuttering on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and other distros based on this version

I've had this issue on multiple games now where the game feels and looks like it's running at 20fps whenever it drops even a bit below 60. Turning off Vsync makes it worse, with the game looking laggy at even above 60fps. I have tested on fresh installs of Ubuntu 22.04, Kubuntu 22.04, KDE Neon, Linux Mint 21.3 (this one being my main distro) and they all have this issue. Ubuntu 22.10 and 23.04 however, do not. Any ideas what could be causing it? Thanks!

If you have a question about Ubuntu this is the place. Anything to do with the other OS is off topic.

I believe it gives meaningful context, showing that this is not some issue caused by some changes I might've inadvertently made to my OS, but that it occurs in fresh installs of multiple distros, all built upon the same common Ubuntu base

Eh... meaningful context would be the make/model of the hardware you're asking about, especially since it's the most important detail... It's hard to answer the question *"How do I get XYZ hardware to work"* when you don't tell us the make and model of the hardware Anyway, it sounds like your card may not be supported well on an older stack. If it works on Ubuntu 22.10 and Ubuntu 23.04, then you should use one of those releases.

Meaningful context would also be the titles and version numbers of the problematic software you are trying to run. Again, it's hard to answer the question, *"Why is XYZ software not working the way I want"* when you never tell us what software you're trying to run.

I think I have found the answer. It seems that switching from x11 to wayland did the trick. And to think that I spent days trying to figure it out... facepalm

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
