it sounds silly but. could it be that the iGPU doesn't have that much VRAM. in htop my RAM shows up as 15.3gb, i assume that means 512mb of VRAM (and then like, 0.2 is gone because converting to gigabytes or whatever)
@twilight on my desktop it performs great though it's so strange. im using niri now and it's better but still nothing compared to my desktop. which is strange because i think i plug the monitors into my iGPU and let the dedicated take over when it needs to
are the animations on my laptop slow because it's underpowered or is my brain so used to using displays above 60hz (but not above 90 lmao) that 60 looks like shit
