    I wonder why Linux version's UI is so sluggish comparing to that on Windows. I can't really find any justification for that. Same hardware, but the difference is drastical.

    I experience the same issues. Apart from the stuttering, the unity panels jump around like crazy when trying to dock them somewhere. It's downright unuseable for me right now. I experience this behavior on high end hardware on both linux mint cinnamon and kubuntu, each on current version. Windows no problems.

    This bug has been found and fixed internally! Yay! It's way smoother now. I'll let you know when a build with the fixes goes out.

    Great news, team! Looking forward to it. Could you elaborate on what was wrong exactly? Maybe we can help to improve it event more.

    Please try the latest 2019.1.0b2 that is now available to install via the Hub. Many of the UI responsiveness issues should be fixed in that version.

    Running Unity 2019.1.0b2 on my Kubuntu 18.04 now (using nvidia-driver-415), I can still feel the UI lagging behind i.e when you try to resize the panels (inside the Editor) around.

    Other than that, everything else seems to be working ok.

    Now it works beautifully. I can see where window will be placed now! Earlier the window blocked the view and I just had to know where it goes.
    When I move my editor to other the new windows still seems to go to other display screen on top left corner though.

    As the windows work reliably this isn't really an issue, but update for rescaling windows requires some fixing as windows in windows scale at different times to follow the outer window size on their own updates.
    For example, put game window in bottom of hierarchy so they are in same layout. Then scale scene view from that side.

    View in beautiful minimalist ascii art with arrow to border (|--| <- | | )
    Obviously draw call for game and scene is already heavy and you don't really need it to rescale all the time.

    Heavy draw calls could be drawn again after resize is complete. Same happens on windows editor, but is less apparent as it updates slightly faster.

    Seems to be implemented like that on windows as it doesn't seem to drag the right side at all (On drag the size updates before next draw?). Switch achor points (presuming it uses canvas UI like classes) to other side when border goes to drag and when it ends just put it in middle of window?

    Oh and when selecting something in Project folder changes selection in Hierarchy.
    For example on Project folders, view Assets folder and select first item there (Scenes folder for me) when in list view (smallest icon view) the selection changes in hierarchy window aswell.
    This happens only on linux editor and been since 2018 version.
    I guess my earlier message was too big for edit... got spam warning...

    It's better, but still worse than Windows' version and nor on par of what other apps provide. Can you elaborate on your approach for windowing? Maybe, we could help with the ideas.

    Another suggestion is to merge the changes to current LTS and 2018 versions.

    Thank you for the 2019 fix! This made my day and fixed a lot of problems for me related to plugins and their editor UI

    I think updating mouse position on editor is slow or it may be delayed by the draw action when dragging sides.

    Sorry to reply to an old post. But having this exact issue on Ubuntu 22.04. Im an experienced linux user, all drivers are up to date. Just UI really lags on resize, exactly like in the example video.
