Description
mutter built with MR 1441 (dynamic triple buffering). This package will include any and all additional Fedora patches to mutter, with the dynamic triple buffering MR applied on top.
mutter and gnome-shell are additionally patched with the following:
- MR 2965 (GPU optimizations for partial surface update)
- MR 2679 (clutter: Optimize the finish-layout step during stage updating)
- MR 3074 (clutter/frame-clock: Avoid rapidly toggling dynamic max render time)
- MR 3080 (Avoid blocking in glGetQueryObjecti64v for direct scanout)
- GNOME Shell MR 2767 (popupMenu: Replace ornament unicode with icons), due to this discussion in Mutter MR 2679
Some other backports have been made to Fedora 37 to accommodate for the above backports.
For Fedora 38, the following patches are also included:
- MR 2726 (Implement physical pixel rounding of Wayland surfaces for compliance with fractional-scale-v1)
- MR 3053 (window-actor: Fix screencast with fractionally scaled surfaces)
For Fedora 37, mutter is additionally patched with MR 1880 (wayland/surface: Avoid using buffers with unfinished client work, sub-surface fixes), which can help to resolve mutter issue #1162. This MR has been merged for GNOME 44 and therefore will be present by default in Fedora 38.
NOTE: MR 1441 as linked above tracks mutter main. This repo usually distributes a build of mutter using the same copy of the patch as Debian and Ubuntu apply for the respective version of mutter (sources).
Installation Instructions
On Fedora Workstation, you can enable this repo with the following commands:
sudo dnf copr enable calcastor/gnome-patched
sudo dnf --refresh upgrade
To return to Fedora upstream, you can disable the repo and run a distro-sync:
sudo dnf copr disable calcastor/gnome-patched
sudo dnf --refresh distro-sync
On Fedora Silverblue, the above instructions differ. Run these instead:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/calcastor/gnome-patched/repo/fedora-37/calcastor-gnome-patched-fedora-37.repo
OR, for Fedora Silverblue 38,
sudo wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/calcastor/gnome-patched/repo/fedora-38/calcastor-gnome-patched-fedora-38.repo
Then to update to the patch mutter and gnome-shell, run the following:
sudo rpm-ostree override replace --experimental --from repo=copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:calcastor:gnome-patched mutter gnome-shell
To return to Fedora upstream on Silverblue, you would run the following:
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/calcastor-gnome-patched-fedora-*.repo
sudo rpm-ostree override reset mutter gnome-shell
Thank you to daudix for posting the Silverblue-specific instructions.
