Patched mutter for GNOME Shell 40. For Fedora 34.
This mutter patched with MR-1441 which is so far most performance improving MR I ever tried. So this COPR I did for myself and you welcome to try as well.
VERY IMPORTANT! Only for X.Org for now. Wayland is not supported yet. So don't forget to switch to x11 before mutter update. Daniel van Vugt is working on wayland support right now.
Installation Instructions
GNOME Shell 40 mutter with MR '1441' (tripple-buffered) copr repository
Yes, it’s compiled with latest changes on that particular day. Usually I’m trying to get most stable commits, means if new commits has not much breakages so I compile new one.
@shrisha thank you for applying the patch! It works great, really! Hope you’ll keep on maintaining it, at least till the GNOME developers decide to merge it
Successfully tested (with great improvements and results) on a PC with NVIDIA GTX960 and a hybrid laptop with intel + nvidia!
Fedora 36
NVIDIA drivers 515.43.04
Yes, that’s a plan, will maintain it until it merge. And if some new interesting performance patches for mutter will come up in a future I will test them and everybody is welcome to do so too.
Thank you for taking the time to create this, it has been great for testing. I have applied the patch to my system (specs as below), and has transformed the animations, which felt like 30 FPS before, to buttery smooth. Very much looking forward to this getting merged into GNOME.
