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!

There is error in tests with latest change. Have to use --nocheck to install correctly

@x0rzavi Removing mr1862 should fix that but if you remove that, then there's no reason to use this package :) Maybe I shall search more mr patches other than that, but I haven't found it yet.

I'm facing random gnome-shell crash on lock screen. It happens only at times like when you close your laptop lid and open it up, or suspend for long and then wake it up. Cross checked too, that its not something to do with extensions or themes, also everything is fine with the main repo packages. This package works wonders :D but this bug keeps annoying me.

Was the version number supposed to be bumped to 42.1?

Wow, after I installed the package and rebooted, I went to the bathroom. Now that I'm back, you've already updated it with the fix! Thanks so much for your excellent work

@saghm yes it got merged but I forgot to remove it. I will fix it soon.

When trying to install this, I got git conflicts with 2048; disabling it and running makepkg alone seems to have worked. From checking the url (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2048), it seems like it has been merged, but I'm not sure how to tell if it's been released yet (or if that matters for this package).
