Further investigation shows that using linux-5.5 (from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/) has a very positive impact on performance and gnome-session/Wayland becomes comparable with Arch and Fedora. At least this points to a definite cause, but it's somewhat of a sad outcome since LTS comes with 5.4.

Moreover, I don't think my issues are related to Ubuntu extensions, at least not mainly or clearly related to them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872796 Title: gnome-shell animations are noticeably stuttery when the Ubuntu extensions are enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1872796/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
