> [@uConsole - Software tips and tricks general thread!](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/uconsole-software-tips-and-tricks-general-thread/12243/2): > > How to stop screen tearing in CM4 units. I was experiencing bad screen tearing in Firefox and Chromium, as well as GBA emulators and other games. To fix this, we need to run the following command in a terminal. sudo raspi-config go to “advanced options” with the arrow keys, select with enter, select xcompositor, and turn off the xcompositor. hit tab to select “finish” and enter to exit. For me, using Cinnamon as my DE, this got rid of all screen tearing issues. How to comfortably overcloc… in my thread i detail how to install a new DE such as Gnome. Yes, it is possible. Note, that the default LXDE image from Clockwork Pi is based off of Debian 11, so the Gnome version will be old. Besides that, its Gnome! Perhaps you can find a way to install a newer version with `bookworm-backports` as i’ve been able to install newer packages that way when i added the backports repository. ---
