Ubuntu Talks Up Its GNOME Dynamic Triple Buffering Support In 22.04/22.10

[Volta]

There are people still using Gnome in 2022 !?

There are people still using winblows in 2022.

When I used GNOME for some time in Arch Linux, I used this patch, and it really helped.

Are these the gnome-performance and mutter-performance PKGBUILDs from the AUR? Description: "Attempts to improve performances with non-upstreamed merge-requests and frequent stable branch resync"

Built with makepkg.conf CFLAG line containing march=native -O3 -flto these are quite performant indeed.

Gnome simply offers workspace management w/multigesture input support that feels natural and smooth. Gnome extensions with workspace pinning for applications is really clean. Lutris opens in one workspace, Firefox in another, Discord in another. Everything has its place.

(Yes, this is obviously possible with other WMs... but having VMs that I can drag in full-screen from WS to WS, have smooth, near-immediate animations/UI transitions w/no input lag and running smooth at 240Hz? oooooo baby)

The eye candy is delicious

Could you point us at this? It's always bad to have no context on something.

It seems to be this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutte...2#note_1451245. The specific debate was about how to deal with drivers not working ok. I agree however than the order of importance should always be resolution > frequency > color depth.

Lots and lots of people. Especially people with bad eyesight tend to use lower resolutions.

You mean setting a lower than the native resolution your display can support because of bad eyesight?
Btw, aren't screen magnifiers designed specifically for that?

There are people still using <insert desktop here> in 2022 !?

Lol, I read it "winblows" as wobbly windows.

No, it was https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/m...amic-buffering that just adds https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutte..._requests/1441

PS: Looks like mutter-performance uses more up-to-date patches, anyway.

People are still *not* using Darwin outside of macOS or still not using Minix in 2022?!

I do not. I increase to font size. I can assure you that Increased image blurriness is perceived even by people with bad eyesight.

Is the triple buffer jjust helping with desktop animations or is there much more to it?
Is it possible to disable animation from gnome preferences GUI or tweak tool?
