Normally, your posts are very coherent, but this one flies on the rails. (Half joking: Did someone hack your account!?) I don't understand your rant here:

    > With the amount of bullshit animations all OSes come with these days, enabled by default, and most applications being webapp with their own secondary layer of animations, and with the typical developer's near-zero familiarity with how floating point numbers behave

I use KDE/GNU/Linux, and I don't see a lot of unnecessary animations. Even at work where I use Win11, it seems fine. "[M]ost applications being webapp": This is a pretty wild claim. Again, I don't think any apps that I use on Linux are webapps, and most at work (on Win11) are not.
