Research direction
Start by reproducing the tearing on the Intel Ultra 7 hardware with Cinnamon and reviewing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf alongside Muffin's compositor behavior. Compare the working KDE case and the boot failure caused by the Intel configuration; done means eliminating tearing under Cinnamon without making the system fail to boot.

Bug description
On my current Hardware I am not able to get rid of the Screen Tearing.
On my old PC i used this config:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
Saved in this location: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
But with the new Hardware it refuses to even boot after i save this config.
From what i found out the Tearing should be the fault of the Compositor which i cant change since i use Cinnamon with Muffin/Mutter.
Are there any other ways to get rid of that Screen Tearing?
Steps to reproduce
Install any Linux with Cinnamon Desktop Environment on this Hardware.
Expected behavior
No Screen Tearing out of the Box or after some fiddling with a config file etc.
Additional information
Sorry if I overlooked something obvious but i just can't figure out how to fix that problem on Cinnamon.
I tried KDE and I had no Tearing there.
