Well, one thing is for sure. Mutter is already startling compared to say a year/year & a half ago, and the numbers on this new patch are quite remarkable, so ubuntu 19.10 should be a revelation for anyone on 18.04. And hats off to the decision-makers who pulled in the MR at the last moment. I think the praise which will follow this next gnome release will make everyone feel quite good about the co-operation behind these performance improvements.

Geometric Picking Finally Lands In GNOME/Mutter 3.34 For Lowering CPU Usage

After half a year of development, Compiz in 2006 (13 years ago) was prettier, snappier, and less memory and CPU intensive than GNOME3/mutter is today despite GNOME3/Mutter being developed for 8 years. Just imagine how great the Linux desktop would be if David Reveman had continued working on it, rather than working on ChromeOS...

144Hz Van Vugts patches also tend to just come out of no where with no involvement of other developers, thus step on the other developers work (Van Vugt isn't a member of the GNOME Foundation), changes things without realising they were done that way for a reason or have severe regressions (as a recent one that got reverted did).
People complain GNOME is buggy, yet also complain that third-party MRs with no community involvement aren't just accepted without scrutiny.Last edited by Britoid; 03 September 2019, 12:13 AM.

In addition to Mutter seeing today an important last minute performance fix for the NVIDIA proprietary driver, Mutter also saw a long-standing performance optimization finally land for GNOME 3.34 that benefits all hardware/drivers...
