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.

A package for mutter(compositor) performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-performance/

Hello, Since I have reinstalled my archlinux, I can't build this package with paru like pikaur. The output of the command can be found here : https://pastebin.com/Cw4btuJD Does someone already have an issue like that? It's not a huge problem to not have this package, but I would like to have the best performance and would be very gratefull if someone could help me. Thanks you!

Upgrading Mutter and GNOME Shell to 43 will require massive upgrades to the entire platform tree. Either you'll be retargeting what the third party repository fcgu is already doing, or you have to wait until Arch completes the process in their repos.

N what about mutter-performance? I don't think dynamic buffering has been merged into 43 yet

saltyming commented on 2022-10-04 12:43 (UTC)

@Axel358 I have no plan to do that. Patches included now are merged/superseded in gnome-43 so there are almost no benefits to upgrade this package without any new patches.

Axel358 commented on 2022-10-03 16:04 (UTC)

Could we get a version of this package that tracks the current upstream stable version? It's been weeks since gnome-shell 43 hit stable

This package, although not fixing my memory leak issues, helped resolve the performance issue I'd been experiencing for AGES since the recent updates to GNOME. Combined with mutter-performance, it really feels like I'm actually using the full capability of my hardware rather than the cheap laptop I'd supposedly upgraded from. All that remains is that pesky memory leak that GNOME is infamous for, I wonder what could be causing it?

This package does not help fixing the animation lag (reported here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3760 )

@phush0 Restart your machine and build the packages again. The packages built successfully in my machine when I updated them.
