From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To reduce input lag and provide smoother visuals.

You say the animations are too much?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

If by animations you mean smoothly moving the mouse and windows while badly optimized apps and websites are rendering, yes.

Lol, why own up to adding animations the system can't handle when you can blame app and web devs? Gnome users always know where the blame should be laid, and it's never Gnome.
