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/

Recently, this package caused an issue on the GDM login "Something has gone wrong, ...". It could be because of a broken build, but I am not sure about that. Posting it here in case someone also experiences it. And here is the post on archlinux.org forums for reference: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2180102

Looks like the glib2-devel package should be added as a makedepends since glib-mkenums is required for build

Could you please add MR #3751, which is needed for Chromium-based apps to utilize Input Method?

Could you please add https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3720 This fixes the click-through / window focus issue for fullscreen applications.

A new MR has appeared!

Might be useful for some users

@glorious-yellow I have just synced mr1441 and mr3729. Can you test it again?

glorious-yellow commented on 2024-05-08 05:13 (UTC)

I'm getting an issue with the latest version (1:46.1+r7+g35836f0f1-1), where only the first frame of a session is being rendered. Cursor moves, but all windows are frozen. Switching to a tty then switching back renders another frame, but desktop is frozen again.

@glorious-yellow Done, thanks.

glorious-yellow commented on 2024-04-28 19:19 (UTC)

Consider adding https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3427#note_2081210 to fix segfault

@Saltyming Nice. Thanks!
