OMG, what an incredibly stupid move by the ubuntu maintainers. I have the same problem as anyone else who has been forcefully downgraded and I tried to solve it by reverting to Daniel's version. However, this "downgrade" would uninstall a lot of GNOME related packages (including `gnome-shell`):

I've been using Ubuntu for about 20 years and have never been so close to switching to a different distribution. The way they handle this bug is absolutely ridiculous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2059847 Title: Input lag or freezes on Nvidia desktops with X11 after logging "MetaSyncRing: Sync object is not ready -- were events handled properly?"
