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.

Umm, I can’t recall ever seeing any animations in swaywm. You’re sure you’re using sway and seeing animations in it?

Maybe I phrased it badly in my post. Of course swaywm in itself doesn’t have any animations, but since I don’t have a desktop environment like gnome or kde, I thought people would understand if I said that I use swaywm. Sorry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
