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.

One more issue would be the displacement of the virtual desktop column in the Overview each time i use the hot corner to access it. As soon as i move the mouse around the column goes back in place.

GTX 1080 / Ryzen 5 2600X / 1440p 144Hz - confirmed as working now. Animations and the whole experience seems much faster than before, so this is good. No more lag anywhere so far. It's great but definitely not faster than KDE like some other guy said below me.

Ahh, I missed the party. I am trying both packages now. If I did not say anything afterwards, it means the packages are really awesome.

@glorious-yellow Right now using a NVIDIA 1080 Ti. But honestly using Gnome (Mutter) stock it feels more like using an integrated Intel GPU from the early 2000's in power saving mode lol.

With this build it actually feels like having a 1080 Ti. :) Really can't wait for Gnome 3.32 with these patches (hopefully) being released.

Never had such a smooth desktop experience on Linux using another desktop environment (Budgie, XFCE, Cinnamon, KDE (which is the worst, tearing everywhere, or lots of lag with forced pipeline composition)).

@deezid Just curious: What graphics card are you using right now?

deezid commented on 2019-01-27 21:47 (UTC) (edited on 2019-01-27 21:49 (UTC) by deezid)

@Terence will do tomorrow. Right now working in Davinci Resolve Studio which works even better than before now. Thanks so much (and of course to Daniel van Vugt as well). I have to say it even feels more responsive than Windows 10 now, even in high CPU loads (created by resolve building new thumbnails e.g.) everything still feels like butter.

Terence commented on 2019-01-27 21:40 (UTC)

@deezid Sure, please do that, thanks. I'm currently testing without the revert patch.

deezid commented on 2019-01-27 21:34 (UTC)

@Terence going to test this build on my Intel GPU as well and see if there are any drawbacks using revert patch in this build. If not I'm going to tell Daniel van Vugt about my experiences with this build on both platforms.

@Terence Thanks a lot. Just noticed that zooming into the desktop using the workspaces bar and a mouse it is running butterly smooth for like 4 times zooming in, after that it starts stuttering (seems limited to 30FPS again).

But let's continue over there. Will reboot my system now and see if it helps.

Terence commented on 2019-01-27 21:05 (UTC)

@deezid gnome-shell-performance updated! I couldn't figure out what was causing conflicts so I just brutally downloaded the full patched file and replaced it :P
