While mutter-performance works great this package causes multiple issues for me
- Xwayland always autostarts with the system (logs say that Xwayland-on-demand is disabled??)
- Geoclue dies during boot
- Screencasting doesnt work )no option, screencast service unavailable)
- Gnome-shell sometimes fails to start
(even with rt-scheduler option disabled, just with this installed)
replacing gnome-shell-performance with gnome-shell fixes all of these issues

If you have a problem during any system update with
mutter-performance
&gnome-shell-performance
, please installmutter
&gnome-shell
packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use gnome-shell-performance-unstable
To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)
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 patches for performance and fixes are by default enabled.
