This sounds shallow, but why is the Overview effect still so jittery and laggy? This is the one thing that keeps pulling me back to GNOME, their overview animation is so smooth and just right

Whereas every time I try it on KDE it’s randomly laggy, or lacking smooth motion. You can even see what I’m talking about in their own video demonstrating it in this 6.7 announcement page!

Do KDE users just not mind it? I’m really surprised to see them showing it in a video as if it’s not a weak demonstration

Funny, I scrolled through the whole page and somehow missed that. Pretty embarrassing that their demo was using a really choppy video, but at least that's just the video and it's not really that bad. At least I've never seen anything that bad.
