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.

Do you have time to update it? Thank you for your work

mr3014 should be added, it fixes some bugs

RealOrRandom commented on 2023-06-02 07:18 (UTC)

Could we add this?

pick_mr 'focus-fix' 3ac82a58c51a5c8db6b49e89a1232f99c79644cc 'revert'

I had to put it first. Or at least it didn't apply after 1441 or 2941 (sorry, I can't remember which was the conflicting one).

It reverts a commit that introduced a regression that currently makes many users mad, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2690.

mr2941 is probably not ready, it's causing some bugs with fullscreen windows.

saltyming commented on 2023-05-14 02:46 (UTC)

@Rauros Added.

Could you add mr2941 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2941)?

This fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2794 and quite of other issues.

Best Aur package! The only package that resolved my lag with Nvidia and Gnome.

saltyming commented on 2023-05-07 12:49 (UTC)

Updated to gnome-44.
