    There is already a package for this in arch AUR you can install:

    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-dynamic-buffering

    I used to install this (it replaces mutter) but didn’t notice any difference in my system.

    I think it makes a big difference on some systems though, since I saw other people absolutely love it.

      There’s a Fedora copr with the triple buffering patches and it did improve the perceived smoothness of Gnome’s animations on my 8th gen Intel CPU.

      It was especially noticeable if the system was limited in power because of running on battery.

      Canonical have had it in Ubuntu for years, but it’s taken them a while to get it to a point where it could be upstreamed. That’s what this news is: that Canonical’s patch is finally all clear to be merged.
