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.

It's a known bug from upstream mutter. A fix is being worked on and there's a PPA with the updated packages by the Ubuntu developer working on the fix. It resolved the problem on my end.

For you, it works fine for me. Also it isn't just web technology

No, but we both know it is a big chunk. It works, and it is mostly fine, but it is certainly slower than Xfce and adds more pain with animations.

If the animations are running slow then your hardware is likely the culprit. Make sure you have a GPU made in the last 10-15 years or so.

I don't deny that Xfce4 is going to be lighter weight but saying it is faster is a stretch.

No, the animations aren't running slower on my hardware than in any other hardware... the issue is that there are animations and those take time to complete.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They shouldn't take time as everyone has pointed out.

Cmon... how can they not? An animation always takes time, 0.1s is time. As described here there's even an extension that can speed up animations.
