Please note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

To disable building the docs package, set an env: _disable_docs=y.

To enable the check() process, set an env: _enable_check=y. Note that it can be problematic in some versions/setups.


If the building process is getting failed on check() like

83/114 mutter:core+mutter/backends/native / native-unit TIMEOUT 180.01s killed by signal 15 SIGTERM

then you may want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Kill your pipewire session manager; killall $(pacman -Qq pipewire-session-manager).

2) Reboot the machine.

3) Pass a variable --nocheck to makepkg (which can be passed along with --mflags first if you are using paru) to temporarily disable the check() process.

4) Add a line options=(!check) to the package's PKGBUILD file to disable the check() process.

And try again.

@NettoHikari or anyone unable to compile with the following error:

lto1: internal compiler error: bytecode stream: expected tag identifier_node instead of LTO_UNKNOWN

You need to rebuild sysprof and then try again.

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

Updated mutter to 3.26.1+7+g41f7a5fdf-1 to match upstream PKGBUILD. It is now much more stable with nvidia prop driver.

anyone got any ideas why the 3.26 update brought extra issues with dragging? it just hangs and frame drops when doing overview or dragging. This patch fixes the general slowness but now there's another issue I didnt have with 3.24

Thanks mate! No lag, but cpu spikes are still there when moving window. All in all much better experience with nvidia blob driver.

Thank you s.o. f.u.c.k.i.n. much! this is the second time new gnome version comes out and completely tanks my performance. this is just out of my brains how something like this is possible

This package applies the patch from https://gist.github.com/DeadMetaler/12622bf9415c1100f2d436ffbd6778c6 to workaround https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781835 as to improve gnome-shell/mutter performance in some cases. (Prismatik + nvidia driver?)
