GNOME 3.34's Mutter Lands A Last-Minute Performance Fix For NVIDIA

Knowing Canonical's history with newer technology, probably not. It will be a shitty LTS that will not fix a ton of stuff with Wayland that will go in the next LTS instead.

21.04 should be good again.

I was kidding...

I updated my work machine to Ubuntu Eoan and this time I seem to be a bit early, my Wayland Desktop seems faster but crashy for now. If they manage to stabilize Gnome-shell properly i'm happy. For now I will have to deal with my mess, I knew what I did and this time I wasn't lucky

The 20.10 will be better.

The majority of Linux gamers you mean ?

yeah, that's a very limited scope

Oh no, I must hurry and plug my NVIDIA card again to bring a fix to KWin...

I could ask to get access to mainline the same way Daniel did but the problem is that they hate closing windows in Present Windows and unredirection...

"...as it was no longer serving its intended purpose with the current state of Mutter's code."

Also, thile title should read "Canonical Dev continuew to clean up Gnomes shoddy code base".

GNOME's code base is ironically pretty clean, as is Mutters.

There's some decision decisions that made sense when GNOME/Mutter was an X window manager, but not when it's its own compositor/display server.

kmare It’s gonna land before 3.33.92. The last minute polishing comes from those who opposed it at first.

So unless it will cause last minute regressions it will be part of 3.34.

Who knows they might even pull some of the few remaining performance patches as well.

Thank you 144Hz , didn't know that and I thought they were in a feature freeze state. Truly hope you're right about the remaining performance patches. It'll make 3.34 a really great release.

They are going to land this big boy as well \o/

Do you know if it's going to land for 3.34 as well? It'd be a shame to miss this release.

Guest you could be right because Ubuntu plan to move to wayland after 20.04 LTS.

then 21.04, 21.10, 22.04, 22.10, ...

Nvidia and x11.. That’s a very limited scope.

Ubuntu seem to care a lot about gamers on the coming Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

You do know that most of the discrete GPUs in the market are Nvidia, don't you? Also, running Nvidia on Wayland is still painful and buggy. Thus the scope is not limited at all in terms of population.
