I'm now releasing an async #Rust crate which serves to enable copying and validating bytes from a single reader, to multiple writers concurrently. This will be used in the upcoming async rewrite of the #pop_os Popsicle application.

To all that are using , the GNOME Shell / Mutter optimization patches were pushed to the stable repositories last night.

After upgrading to the latest packages, you will need to reboot in order to see the improved performance.

A recap of all of the included patches will be in this week's, "This Week in Pop!"

#Pop_OS #GNOME #Linux

Currently experimenting with a couple of patches for #gnome's Mutter in #Pop_OS 19.04. These patches will reduce CPU usage, as well as input and framerate latency and stutter.

There's a "geometric picking" patch, for example, which cuts NVIDIA CPU usage in half.

I'll announce whichever patches I test that end up working out. With any luck you'll have a more responsive Pop!_OS desktop by the end of the day.
