I use Fedora Workstation on an EndlessPC. It's not a particularly powerful machine, but it's sold with an GS-based system, and I wouldn't call it a smooth experience even without any apps opened.

That's correct, I must admit after some testing. Maybe people just confuse it with the low-graphics mode (or whatever they call it) from Ubuntu/Unity which is tuned to work on less powerful computers and where the effects are disabled and think that disabling effects in GS would have the same impact on performance.
