Yeah you can go into settings and toggle of a switch, however they don’t disable everything. ~
Whenever you go into Settings > Accessibility > Enable Animations and disable it one would expect that ALL animations would be disabled while in fact they aren’t. It should behave like Xfce that is, click on something and get the instant result, no delay, no very small animation / fade like GNOME still does.
Bottom line: that option in GNOME is misleading and doesn’t do what it advertises.
