It’s a known bug from upstream mutter. A fix is being worked on and there’s a PPA with the updated packages by the Ubuntu developer working on the fix. It resolved the problem on my end.
From the title, I was afraid this was going to be another backdoor.
and there’s a PPA with the updated packages
🙄
I started “experiencing input delay / lag in GNOME” since I first used it. It’s normal, every thing you click or type requires a 2s animation to show up, usually rendered with CSS themes. lol
You have to upgrade from that 386DX. I have some spare parts I can send your way.
If this is true, there is something wrong with your system.
I have an old Sony vaio laptop with an i5-3210M (early 2012) and it doesn’t do that at all.
If this is true, there is something wrong with your system.
No there isn’t. This is a thing I’ve noticed in all GNOME systems, mine or not. What is happening is that you, like many other people, like to watch an animation when you click on something and I like desktop environments that just get shit down and don’t get in my way.
Obviously that 2s was an exaggeration, but still it isn’t as quick as KDE or Xfce when moving around due to its animations. Even Windows is significantly faster at launching things, minimizing and maximizing windows. macOS adds more animations than GNOME in some things, but it usually doesn’t get in the way on the essential things.
Yes, there must be. There’s not any discernable delay in typing or anything like that, it’s certainly no slower than Plasma when clicking or typing anything, and it’s a hell of a lot faster than Windows.
If you are being truthful, you are experiencing some kind of issue.
GNOME is so buggy and a pile of trash ffs uninstalling
Gnome… buggy?
Look I get that a lot of people have this irrational hateboner for Gnome, I know the workflow is very different from the traditional WinUX, and some people don’t like that, but buggy?
Gnome is astonishingly and notoriously stable for being a modern, regularly updated DE that leverages modern Linux stuff like PipeWire, Wayland, portals, etc. It’s part of why it’s used so extensively in enterprise Linux settings, and part of what made so many distros switch to it over the years. It’s not a buggy DE at all.
Also, using Gnome and then seeing someone else have a bug, then dismissing the whole project as a buggy pile of trash and saying it needs to be uninstalled from your system? Lmao come off it.
E: accidentally referred to Gnome as a distro 🤦♀️
Gnome is astonishingly and notoriously stable for being a modern DE
Yes, and it also uses web technologies to render themes and has zero sense of usability.

As do other DEs to varying extents, including the other “main” DE, KDE Plasma. I don’t really see what your point is there.
and has zero sense of usability.
Heavy disagree. The workflow is amazing. To me, using the Windows UX paradigm is clunky and less usable. Gnome is very, very usable.
Perhaps you mean to say that you don’t like it, which is fair enough for your own tastes, but you aren’t the arbiter of what’s usable and what isn’t.
Could I just ask what your point is here? I’m refuting the baseless assertion that Gnome is an extremely buggy DE.
If you don’t like the workflow then fair enough, it’s certainly quite different from the Windows way of doing things that we’re all used to, and you’re entitled to your opinion that it’s not for you, but I don’t see how it’s relevant to my comment?
