First run to check which video driver you are using (AMDGPU or RADEON)
sudo lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'The output should look like this

If it says AMDGPU we need to create a custom configuration file:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.confOpen this file in a text editor (with sudo) with sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and add the following text:
Section "Device"
Identifier "AMD Graphics"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSectionIf it says RADEON we need to create a custom configuration file:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.confOpen this file in a text editor (with sudo) with sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf and add the following text:
