If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & 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.

Warning: Before making a report of something broken, make sure it is not caused by an extension or a custom theme!

@glorious-yellow extra/gjs needs to be bumped to 1.55.1 first.

@Saren I tried https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/224 and it works well, here is a diff if you're interested: https://gist.github.com/terencode/c690162afa8b8e8554e9dc7fd22752b2

@Leeo97one You may try to follow the git remote add git fetch git cherry-pick approach and modify the PKGBUILD. For the commit hashes they can be found in <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/4/commits>.

I will try to include those as well in the future.

Could you try to include all or some on the patches provided by this pull request? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/4 This has been a really annoying issue for a while.

@ciupenhauer I will try to fix this package later. This package has currently no noticeable positive effect for performance anyways.

hmmm, when trying to install mutter-781835-workaround against this package, it fails to recognize that this is already installed and throws a dependency missing error
