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.

@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.

kode54 commented on 2020-10-22 06:47 (UTC)

Oops, Wayland support has been broken.

Terence commented on 2020-10-20 15:36 (UTC)

@memeplex Thanks for the suggestion, I added !1441 and it's enabled by default.

For the 3.38 package update, not only I am too lazy right now for this big work, most of our favorite extensions may be broken too. I am scared to do pacman -Suy also right now. I would hopefully update this package ASAP.

memeplex commented on 2020-09-23 03:28 (UTC)

Is it possible to add the latest attempt by Vanvugt to bring back triple buffering when FPS are running low? This is important for users using HiDPI screens on Intel integrated GPUs, like me, which still suffer from serious stuttering in some animations.

It's a relatively simple patch, after many iterations (v4!)

Can you please add https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1309? Thanks.

Terence commented on 2020-09-05 21:39 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow The quick 'n dirty way is to download the PKGBUILD from the repo :

mkdir sysprof && cd sysprof && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/packages/sysprof/trunk/PKGBUILD && makepkg -si

Otherwise you can use asp. More info at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System

glorious-yellow commented on 2020-09-04 21:53 (UTC)

How do I rebuild sysprof?
