Hi,
The overview animation on gnome in fedora 40 is noticeably jerky. This post suggests a patched mutter that enables triple buffering for gnome 41-42, so I was wondering if this patch is still needed in gnome 46 or is the jerky animation due to another reason?
Thanks!
I noticed GNOME on Xorg sessions consistently having laggy or stuttery animations for years and just do gsettings set 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' 'enable-animations' 'false' I still notice rare laggy animations on GNOME 46 and Intel UHD 630 Xorg and Wayland, and noticed them in the past with a triple-buffering patch.
It’s possible NVIDIA graphics have their own ordeal Xorg or Wayland with GNOME animations, but I’ve heard stuff from disabling vsync to forcing some full pipeline thing in the past. I’d just disable animations before doing that though.
From years of desktop animations through Windows 98+, GNOME, and other DEs on Linux, there was always a situation that will cause animations at some point to be slow and I even saw it on RX 580s, RX 6600, and a RTX 3060 and 16-core CPUs. I wouldn’t bother with the triple buffer patch, I’d disable animations, and forget about it 
Yeah better to turn off animations altogether, I don’t see this (triple buffering) getting merged before gnome turns 50 lol. Canonical patched it on their systems since LTS 22.04, but well, gnome is gnome.
