I heard it creates latency so I hope it will be disabled in games and stuff like that.
Xaver Hugl, one of the KDE devs, wrote a wonderful post explaining triple buffering. Maybe check this out.
TL;DR (In the context of KDE Plasma) With all those changes implemented in Plasma 6.1, triple buffering on Wayland
Triple buffering is only active if the GPU isn't keeping up with double buffering. So it will mainly only be active for lower powered devices, like older integrated GPUs.
But in games the GPU technically never keeps up.
but in games, triple buffering is the norm
Yes but usually there's an option to disable it (either in the game settings or in the GPU control panel).
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.
