    Biased opinion here as I haven’t used GNOME since they made the switch to version 3 and I dislike it a lot: the animations are so slow that they demand a good GPU with high vRAM speed to hide that and thus they need to borrow techniques from game/GPU programming to make GNOME more fluid for users with less beefy cards.

      Not only slow, it drops frames constantly. Doesn’t matter how good your hardware is.

      There’s always the Android route, why fix the animations when you can just add high framerate screens to all the hardware to hide the jank. Ah, who am I kidding, Gnome wouldn’t know how to properly support high framerates across multiple monitors either. How many years did fractional scaling take?
