> there is no supported way This is why KDE is better than GNOME. Guess who GNOME models after? ;)

  Sorry, what? You absolutely can disable animations in the GNOME control panel.
  • Krssst 3y ago
    Note that you also need an extension to remove the alt-tab delay even if animations are disabled: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1317/alt-tab-switcher-popup-delay-removal/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1317/alt-tab-switcher... (though otherwise GNOME is pretty nice to use without animations)
• satysin 3y ago
  You can disable all the animations in Gnome with the following: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false This is exactly what I do on my Fedora system and as far as I can tell every animation is disabled. Do you have an example of something not disabled with the above setting change?

    I hate that settings like this are not given a UI.
    • bdcravens 3y ago
      Can't you add the settings and submit a PR? Not picking on you, as it seems this is common: treating open source software as if it's someone's else's product, and treating ourselves as helpless consumers.

        Not that easy, not everyone knows how to code. Also, even if you still need to find/add what you need in a presumably massive codebase.
        • bdcravens 3y ago
          I'm not saying it's easy or that everyone is capable. Only that it CAN be changed, but the conversations around OSS often don't reflect that reality. (We've all seen Github issues being abused as a support channel, often with a strong odor of entitlement)
          • xdavidliu 3y ago
            If someone has strong feelings about how a UI is lacking, why suppress it in order to be more polite and avoid appearing entitled? That's a very useful signal. Imagine if nobody expressed their strongly-held opinions about UIs; nobody would know what's missing or bad. Why must everyone who complains about something also attempt to fix it themselves?

        IIRC Gnome is one of those projects where it can be VERY difficult to get a PR submitted because the developers have Opinions.
      • RedShift1 3y ago
        Even if the PR is accepted, in a couple years they'll throw everything away again and the option will be gone
        • prmoustache 3y ago
          Instead of being sarcasting and unhelpful, you all could have a look at a settings window and realize that the option already exist and there is no PR to do.

      It is available in Settings under Accessibility\Seeing\Reduce Animation If you check the enable-animations value you can see it toggles between true and false when you enable/disable the Reduce animation setting.
    • d_tr 3y ago
      You can use dconf Editor to search and change all available settings for Gnome, GTK apps and shell extensions. It also shows you the gsettings key so you can easily shove everything into a script if you want.

  Sure. KDE is great and all, but if they shipped a default config that included a Taskbar and a root menu that opened a terminal, there would probably be fewer people scratching their heads after starting it. <joke>Besides, everyone knows twm is the window manager of the TRUE Unix Haxxor.</joke>
