I had issues getting tearing/direct_scanout to work in hyprland, what's an actual working DE for absolute lowest latency gaming that also supports HDR? (piefed.social)

I want minimum latency as I play competitive games and am very sensitive to it. Hyprland has hdr support which is a must for me and on paper should support vrr and tearing aswell. With VRR I had occasional issues but something like tearing was impossible to get working for some reason, kde plasma should do both well but I have gotten used to tiling window managers and don't really want to give that up.

So id like to know about your setup if you have gotten something like tearing to work or other recommendations.

EDIT: I went back to KDE Plasma and was able to confirm that direct scanout and tearing work, i used window rues to force it for specific games, i also use https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite which allows tiling on plasma. Its not as beautiful as hyprland but meets me demands

yes in most games i just want freesync to work but my most played games are cs2 and overwatch i r un both easily at 400+ fps on my 240hz monitor and thus i want no kind of vrr involved and jsut the direct frame output to my monitor as quickly as possible. At this high fps tearing isnt really visible anyway its just about the latency
