Any docs to this effect? I'm curious to check them out because I've had flawless wifi under GNOME across various work laptops since at least 2010. Maybe it's Ubuntu+GNOME specific, haven't run Ubuntu, but it certainly doesn't seem to be GNOME. Ah, on re-read of the OP comment, it's "wifi issues and freezing", two different problems they had. Have never seen either from GNOME though.

Wifi in Linux distros is not handled by the DE. It's usually systemd-networkd and wpa_supplicant. GNOME is very slow. The UI and animations are implemented in JavaScript. KDE Plasma isn't much better though. You should try using a tiling window manager.

  > The UI and animations are implemented in JavaScript Can you point me to the code implementing an animation in JavaScript?

    Here, took me less than 30 seconds to find one: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/0db41a3773eaf7d197d1dede4ec0d04f4b9aaf62/js/gdm/loginDialog.js#L795 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/0db41a3773... It's everywhere

      My confusion stems from the fact that when you say "implementing" animations, I think of shuffling pixels around. By your logic, every HTML marquee tag "implements" an animation.

  >You should try using a tiling window manager. Or just a sane floating one like Fluxbox. Taskbar, systray, window merging by title, Zukitre themes to match the GTK ones and dead simple to setup, with no XML such as the "other one".
