I like the animations personally, but I’ve never really found a good use for virtual desktops beyond troubleshooting when something is stuck in fullscreen.

Literally every computing device runs better without transparency or animations. I disable them on everything.
Does there really need to be an article about this? I mean it should be a no brainer. Not that it changes much, it's still Windows 11 at the end of the day.
First things I disabled when my company put that mandatory W11 installation on my desk. Being fair to our IT, they already went out of their way to disenshittify Windows. Their background debloat scripts and configs must be gigantic.
Windows 11 looks and runs even better when replaced by Linux.
Agreed. I ran all the debloat scripts I could on Windows 11. Still felt scummy using it, so I switched fulltime to Fedora Linux and I feel a lot better using my computer.
I was just thinking this exact same thing.
