I'm already trying out a patched version of mutter for Pop!_OS 19.04.

Thanks Daniel! You're doing some pretty good stuff for GNOME even though it seems to take ages for some of it to be merged.

Is there news regarding hardware cursor running with full/real refreshrate on Gnome Wayland?

You do not do much work with gnome3 when you need to follow missing features and bug fixes. IBM tortures workers and users. It is from hell to develop and use gnome3. All of this intentionally to prevent the success of the Linux desktop. Bravo IBM-Microsoft partnership, well done.

wow...

If I had to keep up with missing features and bugs of other desktops I'd probably need another lifetime.

My biggest gripe with GNOME is that the animation for dash is an ugly folding one, instead of a modern bottom-up sliding one. Also that the duration of the animation is too long.

Guess that explains why the very first option in Gnome Tweaks disables animations.

I used the Impatience extension for a while, but nowadays I just disable animations myself.

I like the animations, just not the GNOME Shell "dash" animation.
