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.

Can you add: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3674

Multi monitors on Wayland with Nouveau is unusable without this and the main package already includes it.

@intelfx You can edit the sources in PKGBUILD and make a git commit.

intelfx commented on 2024-02-15 05:46 (UTC)

@Dawdleming I build them for my repository and switch between them on every minor release to assess the benefit of the performance patches.

@intelfx Building both mutter and mutter-performance is a quite rare case. Why do you do that?

Changing name of the git repo makes the original git repo (mutter-performance) abandoned, so it shouldn't be done unless most of people agree.

intelfx commented on 2024-02-14 01:14 (UTC)

Please don't set name of the git repo you clone to $pkgname. It is completely pointless (because git knows what revision it's at) it breaks sharing of source files between mutter and mutter-performance for those people who have shared $SRCDEST.

@NGStaph Done.

NGStaph commented on 2024-01-15 05:19 (UTC)

consider adding #3304 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3304

saltyming commented on 2024-01-11 13:25 (UTC)

@ewout not available in stable branch (45) yet. Tho I will try cherry-picking it later.
