Debian Stable Question Variable refresh rate on Gnome

Guys, I’ve heard VRR is experimental on Debian Gnome still. Is it true? If so what does it mean? It either works or no?

Debian 13 comes with GNOME 48. VRR is an experimental feature for mutter, its default Wayland compositor. Whether it works or not depends on many factors, including video drivers, chipset, and application mix. If it works for you, great; if it doesn't, wait until Debian 14 is out or risk using Unstable.

How to enable it for mutter and then for GNOME is the first answer you get from Google, so have at it.
