    Spectacular. Performance has been the primary reason GNOME was not an option on the business machines I've set up, so it's great to see that they are taking it seriously.

        Also using patched Mutter (in Arch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/m...835-workaround) it runs fantastic while KDE and kwin runs horrible with tearing and lots of lag, 60p 4K playback in Chrome is impossible, while I can play 8K videos just fine using patched (or hopefully 3.32 as well) Mutter.
        What do I care? Go pester NVIDIA about it, it's their hardware. GNOME, KDE or Sway cannot do anything about it because their drivers are closed-source.

        When you make it impossible to cooperate with you, you deserve the finger.

          The animations when opening up the dash is much smoother without frame stuttering.
          The dash experience has been improved.

          I still do think the experience of the dash is bad because the duration of the animation is too long. It is smooth, but too long.
          Also the animation is a poor animation, it is a folding animation. I would much rather prefer a simper bottom-up sliding animation like the one on Android.
          I just put this on a virtual machine and it does seems smoother than the hosting 18.10.

            Doesn't really matter. Fact is Mutter/Gnome developers figured out how to create a smooth (60p at least) tear- and lag-free environment even using NVIDIA proprietary drivers and managed to make it smoother than Kwin on (my two) Intel machines as well.

                  Yes, I can. I sent you a private message, but apparently it didn't reach you.

                    I'd love to see the patch too... any reason it's not in mainline kwin?

                      Unapproved post above, and since I can't edit it:

                      Nevermind, found your github repo
