Gnome / mutter triple buffering patch merged

  • I wonder if this will also fix the problem i have with my mouse cursor only drawing at what seems like 24 fps. It is noticeably laggier than in KDE.

    It has something to do with drawing, because over some surfaces it doesn't happen, but all gtk native apps exhibit it. This is a 7900x with an intel a750 graphics card. It should not happen.

  • Sweet! I know this patch has been cooking for a while, gosh the gitlab page takes ages to even load...

    Trying to look at the source... Is the whole thing less than ~1000 LOC ???

  • But can we Gilette this? Quadruple buffering? 24 buffers for the smoothest display?

  • Great news! It's fascinating to read all the effort very dedicated and talented people put into improving the software we love and use.

    Kudo's to Daniel van Vugt and all the testers that pitched in time and effort.

  • That sounds like a great visible improvement. Gnome is polished WM.

    Does KDE/Plasma offer sthg. comparable?

  • Anyone know if this is too late to make the cut for Fedora 42? (beta was announced this week)

  • I don't fully understand this, but it sounds like a nice optimization.
