I use XMonad with compton but GTK3 only works smoothly with Mutter's compositor or GDK's Wayland backend. Anything else flashes a black rectangle for any new window. A compositor is supposed to be required and enough, but compton or xfwm don't cut, though the glitch is less prevalent under xfwm. Now that Firefox has removed GTK2 support 53, there's no way around GTK3 anymore. > I reverted back to linux-lts which seems to be running fine on my > early 2015 MacBook Pro 12,x with the exception of a failed resume from > hibernate every once and a while. Yeah or systemd requiring a newer kernel sometimes.
