I would like to do that, but Linux still has not mastered the arcane art of scrolling a webpage without tearing.

I guess adding one command to your autostart list is too much to ask these days :(

Which one?

"picom" or "compton" is all it takes

On modern hardware running fedora 30/31/32 i’ve yet to have any serious tearing issues like you describe. Either way if you’re not willing to tweak a few settings then mac would be your best bet.

Even with countless hours of customization and trying out different settings and digging around configuration files, my chromium did not manage to scroll without tearing (nvidia with nonfree drivers)

Don't blame the user. The experience is bad, and should be called out for it. Many things about linux just suck, and deserve to be called out. Dont defend shitty software, just because you like it and it 'just works for you', or because it is open source.
