Does it matter that Gnome doesn't support VRR? And why? (lemmy.world)

Question to help me increase my understanding on what’s going on in the Linux desktop stack. I’ve heard Gnome doesn’t support VRR while KDE does.

Why does this matter, isn’t Wayland or X11 the one that would ultimately need to support VRR? Basically when running a game that I want to use VRR with, why does it matter what my desktop environment is doing?

Oh that is crazy, will have to try out KDE VRR out on my machine and see if I get the same behavior.
