Hey everyone !!
I’ve recently been dealing with some recurring system crashes on my Arch Linux setup and have had to switch from the amd driver to the modesetting driver. So far, I've had no crashes using the modesetting driver, but I’ve started to experience screen tearing, which I’m trying to resolve. I created an Xorg config file to enable TearFree, but it turn's out the TearFree option hasn't been implemented yet in any release for the modesetting driver. Some people have suggested that I disable the compositor & use picom instead. Any ideas, or is picom my best bet?

Try some of the different vblank modes as available with the xfwm4 compositor to see if any of them help.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did not know about this. Setting the vblank mode to off seems to have done the trick. There's still a bit of screen tearing, but it's a whole lot more manageable now....
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -t string -s "off" --create
