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 mutter-performance-unstable


The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs to achieve maximum performance (!4015 and !4027).


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.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

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.

46.5-1 no longer has screenshot regression

saltyming commented on 2024-09-14 08:27 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow It works fine here. Can you try 1:46.4+r18+g081b918ba-3?

glorious-yellow commented on 2024-09-14 04:59 (UTC)

Getting regression with 46.4+r18+g081b918ba-2, downgrading to 46.4+r17+g0d60d0720-1 solves the issue.

Issue is with screenshot UI, in new version cannot use mouse cursor to change the region selected for a screenshot.

I've only seen a minor difference in shell animations.

Kimiblock commented on 2024-09-14 03:25 (UTC)

Will do in an hour

saltyming commented on 2024-09-13 14:37 (UTC)

@Kimiblock Added. Can you try testing it?

Kimiblock commented on 2024-09-13 10:25 (UTC)

Could you please include !4015 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4015, which seems to improve the performance of reverse prime? Thanks

m_perf commented on 2024-08-31 06:16 (UTC)

@saltyming I confirm the issue is gone, thanks a lot for the quick fix!

saltyming commented on 2024-08-30 14:17 (UTC)

@m_perf @pilililo2 Fixed.
