Does anyone know if the GNOME and Mutter fixes will get back-ported to ubuntu 18.04?

I'm still trying to do fractional scaling with Gnome + Nvidia. Is it even possible? I know it is in Wayland.

Under your Canonical support agreement ask your TAM.

Very unlikely. Early in August you'll get the invitation to upgrade to 20.04, and by then 20.04 should have the fixes.

Many probably don't even apply. The thing that was broken about culling for example was fallout from a big refactor in 3.34 - in 3.28 that should just work fine (minus all the culling improvements that came with 3.36).

Does anyone know generally how long it would take ubuntu 20.04 to get this update?

This is probably the most important GNOME-related release of 2019-2020 (yet). Shit was broken since 3.34 or 3.36, wasting a completely insane amount of (i)GPU bandwidth and performance.

It would be nice to know what the corresponding mpv developers are missing so that people can get an opinion on whether that is reasonable or not. They might also be the problem, we don't know.
