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 from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.


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.

Some changes have recently been made to !1441 that fixes 2 bugs:

  • Crashes in certain cases if an external monitor is plugged/unplugged

  • Displays phantom cursors when moving quickly

@angryfog I tried it before but it didn't play nice with our patches.

Hi, Is there a way to combine this set of patch and mutter-vrr? If yes, how to do it? Thanks you

Is there a way to include mutter rounded patches? Unfamiliar with the process. Edit: there's a gnome extension for rounded corners now: https://github.com/yilozt/rounded-window-corners

@ewout We use a snapshot-ed patch for mr1441 so we're not affected to changes in mr1441 upstream.

I will consider switching to mr2487 when it gets backported updates from mr1441. For now, there's no difference between our predownloaded mr1441.patch and mr2487.

Please update to use PR 2487 instead, per Van Vugt's recommendation here.

I presume Van Vugt is going to update 1441 to work with 43.alpha the coming weeks.

@glorious-yellow I will check that mr time to time if there's an update there. Currently, as far as I know, there's no such big changes between our patch and that mr.

!1441 on GNOME 42 has been moved:

@kal I can't confirm intel but I think it does improve performance on X11/Nvidia.
