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.

  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".
