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.

I tried this today for gnome 3.30 but didn't work. It throws the message "fatal: bad revision 'cc3f4e4e'" as soon as it starts the prepare() method. Any ideas on what is going on?

@Saren: "clutter: Fix offscreen-effect painting of clones" got rebased, you need to update the commit checksum from cc3f4e4e to 3552fd1e

@parascent I still don't know why the commit is not reverted. Do the GNOME developers really hate us?

parascent commented on 2018-09-29 09:33 (UTC)

I am infuriated. Gnome was stuttering and slow without this. Now gnome 3.30 is so fast & buttery smooth.

The commit against which this package is currently based (34f5be72) has a nasty shell crash bug when using a Wacom pen: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/294

The fix for this is in mutter a3d9f987.

Saren commented on 2018-09-18 03:10 (UTC)

Package updated for 3.30 and tested. I have reverted to 3.28 because most extensions I am using wont work anyways.

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-09-17 19:57 (UTC)

GNOME 3.30 is in the main repo, this package should be updated

Saren commented on 2018-09-04 05:41 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow @Terence I removed 13870745 and updated the package. Thanks for notifying.

It appears only some animations are slow. The window maximize/resize animations are very laggy, but the panel and the notifications tray animate smoothly.
