From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sounds like you're experiencing screen tearing, an effect where the refresh rate of your monitor can't keep up with your graphics card. This section of the Arch Wiki might be helpful.
What kind of monitor do you have, and does it have a configurable refresh rate?
This fix is applicable only if OP is using x11 and not Wayland.
shit, you're right. I'm unfamiliar with Fedora and Gnome. I also found this thread in the NVidia developer forums describing what sounds like the same issue with a similar setup, but the proposed workaround doesn't sound feasible.
i have an msi g something monitor, goes up to 165 hz. And it's configurable, or at least i'm pretty sure. i changed it from 60 to 165 after i installed fedora, but i did that through fedora's gui
