I visited vsynctester.com but the screen kept tearing despite installing extra graphics and Wi-Fi hardware for Linux Lite. I’m using onboard graphics. My PC model is PRO904059, and the motherboard appears to be NUC7i5DNB.

switch to Wayland (not supported by Light) or modify the Xorg settings. The problem stems from Xorg not supporting compositing because it isn’t GPU accelerated. Enabling TearFree lets the compositor connect to GPU drivers, enabling smooth display. Different desktop environments handle this differently—GNOME and KDE typically do it by default, while XFCE4 and Mate don’t. LXQT relies on the active window manager. You’ll need root privileges to create a file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel-graphics.conf and set the options accordingly. After saving, restart your system.

I provided my recommendations without using any links or watching videos. Even after restarting the computer, the issue persists. I'm running Linux Lite based on Ubuntu LTS.

Run the command in your terminal to view xrandr output. Check your display settings and refresh rate to rule out screen tearing issues.

After entering man xrandr in the terminal, it displays: XRANDR(1) Basic Guide to RandR Extension. Usage example: xrandr [options]. The program functions as a command-line tool for adjusting screen settings such as size, orientation, and reflection. It also allows specifying screen dimensions. When no arguments are given, it shows the current output states, indicating available modes with indicators. Some features include global controls and specific options like --scale, --fb, --dpi, and various formatting flags. Additional parameters can modify subsequent outputs, enabling simultaneous changes to multiple settings. For detailed information, use --help or --version. Detailed descriptions are available in the manual page.

You opened the terminal and entered "man xrandr," then watched your YouTube video.

Have you noticed any issues with screen tearing beyond that specific site? The system indicates tearing on other Windows platforms too.
