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.

How do I rebuild sysprof?

Terence commented on 2020-08-31 16:26 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-31 16:26 (UTC) by Terence)

@NettoHikari or anyone unable to compile with the following error:

lto1: internal compiler error: bytecode stream: expected tag identifier_node instead of LTO_UNKNOWN

You need to rebuild sysprof and then try again.

What about adding !1383?

Terence commented on 2020-07-23 20:08 (UTC)

@tosziro Thanks, it's now included and enabled by default.

Nice. Could you please add !1369? Its very important for wine app users.

To anyone having the issue with the error message

Warning: installing mutter-performance (3.36.4+10+gef3dac706-1) breaks dependency 'libmutter-6.so=0-64' required by gnome-shell-performance Add gnome-shell-performance to remove

Don't use pamac to install this package, use yay, I'm unsure about other AUR installers, however, yay installs the package and replaces mutter in place without issue. Obviously restart afterwards, but it works flawlessly after the fact.

Can't install the latest update

@Snowstorm64 @ciupenhauer !1326 was merged into master and also backported to stable branches so it's now included with the new update I just pushed.

@Vash63 Thanks, last time I checked it wasn't applying cleanly so it might be a bit of a delay until I fix it and add it.

ciupenhauer commented on 2020-06-22 17:17 (UTC)

MR !1324 seems to have been replaced with another fix that was already merged into master https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1326

does this mean if we recompile this package right now, we would be getting the fix?
