Reduce Animation in the User Interface on Ubuntu

Making Ubuntu 24.04 user experience a little bit less frustrating.

The Problem

Ubuntu 24.04 comes with a user interface that has lots of visual effects, animations and transitions. Such behaviour introduces a delay between user actions and system responses, as well as disrupts one’s focus.

The Solution

Set enable-animations to false to reduce motion:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
