I've never seen smooth gnome-shell overview animations on my Intel Clarkdale (2 Cores, 4 Threads, 3.2GHz Frequency, 733MHz GPU Frequency) system from 2010. Same on different other machines, all newer (and better iGPU). Seems like you are pretty lucky. Especially the fade in transition on user login has never been smooth either: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747599 Anyway, animations should be disabled on virtual machines, but they are not: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771311 Maybe animations should even be disabled on all machines older than (e.g.) 5 years by default. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
