On Ubuntu (and probably other distros as well) it’s as easy as going to Settings>Accessibility>Reduce animations and then turning it ON.
This seems to apply to most applications, like firefox, discord and spotify.
Is there any way to do this on swaywm? I thought maybe it could be set with an environment variable, but couldn’t find any. My linux knowledge ain’t the best.

That toggle in Gnome only affects the Gnome shell
An equivalent is running this in the terminal
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
Damn you’re right. I may or may not have been brushing off anything related to gnome, since I thought it wouldn’t apply to me… Well that was ignorant of me.
While this doesn’t seem to apply for spotify, steam or discord, after rechecking on my laptop with Ubuntu, neither did it there… (so my description is a little off). I guess that’s because of the applications not running wayland natively? I actually don’t really know though.
I know in Windows there is an option to turn off all animations, and it really did that for EVERYTHING, so I guess I’m after something like that, but there probably isn’t such an option.
