    Sure, can they consider stopping wasting money / time actually develop useful stuff? For a DE that got €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund they’re not showing results.

    Okay fine, desktop icons can be a design decision, however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations… that’s just poorly made software, not something you may have an opinion on.

      It is a fact that GNOME is the only other DE (besides KDE Plasma) that has modern features. So, frankly, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Furthermore, GNOME’s ways lends itself a lot better to the secure by default/design paradigm(s) as illustrated by this table from secureblue.

      however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations…

      Do you mean the one that used to be in accessibility? Though, FWIW, I couldn’t even find it this time 😅. Instead, consider to evoke the following command:

      gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false

      I’ll grant you that it might feel archaic for some to do this through a terminal. Though, this setting is also accessible through Dconf Editor. Regardless, at least it works as desired.
