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.

A package for gnome-shell performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-performance/

I tried adding 1441, but then I get

error: patch failed: clutter/clutter/clutter-frame-clock.c:198
error: clutter/clutter/clutter-frame-clock.c: patch does not apply

Then I'm sorry @AntonioSalvatore but I don't know what's wrong. I found this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1449

Maybe also try to build mutter from arch repo?

AntonioSalvatore commented on 2020-11-06 17:19 (UTC)

@Terence mmm nope, doesn't work. I tried to build the package in a clean chroot but the result is the same.

Terence commented on 2020-11-06 12:38 (UTC)

Hey @AntonioSalvatore I built the package in a clean chroot with all PR enabled and I couldn't reproduce. I suggest trying with makepkg --cleanbuild.

@memeplex @kode54 Oups yeah, sorry shouldn't have enabled it by default, fixing this right now.

memeplex commented on 2020-10-22 13:15 (UTC)

Thanks @Terence. @kode54 probably !1441 since it doesn't support Wayland yet. Maybe it should be done ootional until Wayland support is implemented.
