Welcome to Linux. It’s dope here. Things are FAST.
Yes, until you decide to use GNOME and suddenly everything “endlessly complex” while you wait for pointless UI animations to finish. :P

Never had issues with Gnome on low end hardware but, you can disable animations in the accessibility settings. (No extensions needed!)
