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.

Oops, Wayland support has been broken.

@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.

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

How do I rebuild sysprof?

Terence commented on 2020-08-31 16:26 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-31 16:26 (UTC) by Terence)

@NettoHikari or anyone unable to compile with the following error:

lto1: internal compiler error: bytecode stream: expected tag identifier_node instead of LTO_UNKNOWN

You need to rebuild sysprof and then try again.
