I am so sick and tired of your animations of everything

Cute! Extremely cute! All these animations which rained on software for the last ten or so years, are so heart-warming. You drag a highlighted word, and when you release it after missing the target GUI control by a fraction of millimeter due to ridiculously designed shape of the mouse cursor, it does not instantly return to its origin, but it goes through an animation. Perfect! Wonderful! Cute!

Enter the memory leaks and other root causes of the gradual slowdown of any open-source or closed-source OS. Yes, I said the s-word. All currently existing OSs do slow down if not rebooted on a regular basis. This was not the case 15-20 years ago, when they were being developed by the students of US, Canadian, and European universities. Now that everyone and his sister in the 3d world, including North Korean and Chinese Communist Parties, ISIS, Al Quaeda, and Nigerian and Somalian pirates, contribute to Linux source code, it had become a bug nest. It slows down to a grinding halt after running for as little as one month.

As soon as Linux as a whole slows down, the animations become a grave annoyance, instead of cute attraction and entertainment. It kills productivity. But who cares? Try to report it, and the best case scenario is that they will tell you to reboot your system. Worst case they will simply troll you for having an incorrectly installed or "messed up" system. They will not comment on what that means, since they do not know and do not care, but merely use the language designed to make complainants go away.

Congratulations, humans, for allowing god knows who to create the software that your world runs on. You should at least try to control who they are and what their agenda is. But you do not care.
