Hmm. Maybe gnome is not correctly using hardware acceleration in your machine¿? In my experience, gnome is perhaps the smoothest DE though it is heavier in resource usage than XFCE, MATE, etc. It does stutter and drop frames when the system is seeing very heavy resource usage.
Edit : when I am using the powersaver settings given by power-profiles-daemon, gnome does stutter a little. This corresponds to amd-pstate being active with the scaling governor set to powersave and the energy vs performance hint set to save power.
I have a really not powerful Surface Go 1 with 8gb of RAM and Gnome isn’t laggy on it.
I guess your computer has a problem..
Well then I guess it has to be some weird driver issue or something related scaling or whatever.
I also have Gnome installed on my girlfriend MacBook Pro from 2012 (upgraded to 16gb of ram) and everything is fluid.
Or maybe I’m not seeing such small details and you have the curse of seeing them.
