  • mutter-rounded

    A window manager for GNOME, with rounded corners patch

  • Good question. The dev himself has said he does use a certain patch in his build. See here.. However, I went inside the code and it appears that he first downloads the Mutter source from RPM (which does not have the performance patches, yet), builds a big "meta"-patch out of everything in the "patches" folder, and applies those changes on the downloaded mutter build. So to be safe, I downloaded 1877 and 2487 manually, and edited package.sh myself. Gnome runs significantly faster, with fewer dropped frames, especially in the overview and app menu. (1877 gave me a few quirks though so you might want to skip that.)
