My hardware doesn't work with X. Screen tearing. So im stuck with wayland, although I'd like to move to xfce when they support wayland

Screen tearing has been fixed on X11 for a while:

> xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --set TearFree on

That works on AMD and Intel modesetting. There's something similar for nVidia. I haven't had a screen tearing issue in years on X11
