--- Comment #123 from Ryein Goddard <ryein.godd...@gmail.com> --- It would be cool if we could dynamically load the nvidia binary driver(like nvidia prime but switching with the open and closed driver quickly) when ever we want so we can have the best of both worlds and not even worry about any of those things. Screen tearing is probably the one thing I hate about KDE/Plasma right now compared with other solutions that for whatever reason do not have this issue.
