Dallas Strouse c8c5560916 backends/native: Main thread rt-scheduler: experimental feature no more 
To paraphrase jadahl: we have a dedicated KMS thread now, which also
has realtime scheduling enabled unconditionally. realtime scheduling
on the main thread isn't too great of an idea, considering GC can
take a hot minute.

And to quote rmader: we most likely won't be able to make the main
thread rt as long as we use GJS and thus have GC.

So let's get rid of it! It's just been breaking things anyways.

This just ignores the setting; we'll fully remove it when GNOME 46
comes around.

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
