Screen Tearing while scrolling chrome xubuntu
Scrolling through pages with lots of images cause a distortion about 2/3 down the screen. I've tried enabling/disabling smooth scroll and in chrome. I've also tried toggling compositor settings on device. I'm not really sure what the best bet solution here is. I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated!

This may be caused by Chrome falling back to software rendering which is not vsync'ed.
Check chrome://gpu/
and see if hardware acceleration is enabled (shows green for all features). If it's not, enable the chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist
flag. Check chrome://gpu/
again to see if hardware acceleration is enabled now.
