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.)

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.

@Saren use gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock-git from aur.

Saren commented on 2019-03-16 17:03 (UTC) (edited on 2019-03-16 17:05 (UTC) by Saren)

As always, many of your favorite extension will stop working on 3.32, this includes Arc Menu, Dash to dock, Trash, No Title Bar and Volume Mixer for me. Also the shell is incredibly laggy caused by some working but problematic extensions. It is smooth with all extensions off, but who on earth uses gnome without extensions?

I recommend to stay out of gnome 3.32 for now, this includes other gnome-related packages in official repo, which means you might want to update vulnerable packages only instead of pacman -Suy.

With the new patches, to get realtime scheduling for gnome-shell, do the following:

sudo setcap CAP_SYS_NICE=+ep /usr/bin/gnome-shell 
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['rt-scheduler']"

Terence commented on 2019-03-16 14:28 (UTC)

@rodneyck make sure your pacman mirrors are up-to-date and perform a system upgrade then try again.

@glorious-yellow: no !281? seriously? What where they thinking? lol

These performance patches were not included in 3.32:

Consolidate all frame throttling into clutter-stage-cogl [performance]

clutter-actor: Add detail to captured-event signal [performance]

clutter-stage-cogl: Reduce output latency and reduce missed frames too [performance]

cogl-winsys-glx: Fix frame notification race/leak [performance]

clutter: Deliver events sooner when possible

WIP: renderer-native: Accept frames without ever blocking

renderer-native: Reference count front buffers.

Terence commented on 2019-03-15 21:29 (UTC)

Both this package and gnome-shell-performance updated to 3.32 as the packages hit the [extra] repository (surprisingly early!). No performance patches applied for now.

Terence commented on 2019-03-15 11:51 (UTC)

@Saren: Ah right I forgot about that. Maybe let's wait for 3.32 to land (it's in the [gnome-unstable] repo right now and keep it and you tell me if you still have troubles?

Saren commented on 2019-03-15 07:39 (UTC) (edited on 2019-03-15 07:42 (UTC) by Saren)

@Terence The revert patch could be default off if you find it is OK to remove it. It's because without the revert patch I get stutters playing rhythm games.

By the way 3.32 is released and some packages are landed in official repo. Brace for impact, it's very likely gnome will break if different version of shell/mutter/js installed.
