让我们面对现实吧。


与 GNOME 等相比，Cinnamon 已经是一个轻量的桌面环境了。虽然它占用的资源可能没有 Xfce 那么低。


不过，如果你有一个硬件不足的系统，并且你想要提升一点性能，而不想切换到 Xfce 等替代性<ruby> 桌面环境 <rt>  Desktop Environment </rt></ruby>（DE）或 [Sway](https://itsfoss.com/sway-window-manager/)、[Fluxbox](http://fluxbox.org/) 等<ruby> 窗口管理器 <rt>  Window Manager </rt></ruby>（WM）的话，我这里倒是有一个实用小技巧可以分享给你。它应该帮助你加快 Linux Mint 的速度，虽然只能够加快一点点。


### 禁用 Cinnamon 桌面的动画效果


**首先，你一定不要指望用这个小技巧来大幅提高整体桌面性能。原因如下：**


当你打开/关闭应用程序窗口、使用菜单、弹出对话框等时，你会注意到这些<ruby> 动画 <rt>  animations </rt></ruby>或<ruby> 效果 <rt>  effects </rt></ruby>。由于这些事件都是短暂的，不会持续运行，因此禁用它们并不能得到很大提升。


如果你的系统真的在崩溃的边缘挣扎，禁用这些效果可能有助于减少卡顿。真的到了这种时候，能快一点是一点。让我们来看看该怎么做吧！


首先，打开菜单，搜索“<ruby> 效果 <rt>  effects </rt></ruby>”。


![打开 Linux Mint Cinnamon 的效果设置](/data/attachment/album/202204/22/121101iggk24h5445z4p24.png)


打开“<ruby> 效果 <rt>  effects </rt></ruby>”设置窗口，你默认会在“<ruby> 启用效果 <rt>  Enable Effects </rt></ruby>”这个标签页中。你可以在这里选择禁用（或启用）各种可用的动画效果。

你可以选择禁用部分或全部效果。


如果你切换到“<ruby> 自定义 <rt>  Customize </rt></ruby>”标签页，你可以自定义你在“<ruby> 启用效果 <rt>  Enable Effects </rt></ruby>”标签页中看到的各种效果。


![自定义 Linux Mint Cinnamon 中的窗口动画](/data/attachment/album/202204/22/121102wgpgxgphhppvqqxm.png)


第一栏是效果的名称，第二栏是动画的类型，第三栏是动画的展示方式，在最后一栏，你可以配置动画完成的时间。


如果你选择了 “None”、“easeNone” 和 “0” 时长，就相当于禁用了这个效果。不过，使用另一个标签中的禁用选项是一个更简单的选择。


### 值得这样做吗？


我写这个小技巧的原因是，有读者问我能否定制 Cinnamon 并禁用动画。


说实话，这并不费什么劲，而且做了之后也没有多大区别。你几乎不会注意到视觉上的影响，更别说是性能上的改进了。


但是，如果你的系统正处于挣扎状态，每一个微小的优化都会有帮助。你也可以尝试使用消耗较少系统资源的轻量级应用程序。这或许对你也有一点帮助。


你有任何类似的优化小技巧吗？请在评论区和大家分享吧！

Let’s face it.

Cinnamon is already a lightweight desktop environment when compared to the likes of GNOME. But it may not be as light on resources as Xfce.

If you have a system which is low on hardware and you want a little bit of performance boost without switching to an alternative desktop environment (DE) like Xfce or window manager (WM) like [Sway](https://itsfoss.com/sway-window-manager/) or [Fluxbox](http://fluxbox.org/?ref=itsfoss.com).

Let me share a neat little trick that should help you speed up Linux Mint but only slightly.

## Disabling animation effects in Cinnamon desktop

**First things first, you must not expect a drastic improvement in overall desktop performance with this trick. Here’s why!**

These animations or effects (as it is called in Mint) are noticed when you open, close applications windows, use the menu, have a dialogue box pop up etc. You don't get a constant boost since these events do not happen continuously.

Disabling these effects may help reduce the stutters if your system is really struggling. In those cases, every single bit helps. Let’s see how to do this!

Open the menu and look for effects here.

![Accessing Effects settings in Linux Mint Cinnamon](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/04/accessing-effects-settings-mint-cinnamon-800x630.png)

It opens the ‘effects’ settings window and you’ll be at the ‘Enable Effects’ tab. You’ll have the options to disable (or enable) various available animation effects here.

![Disable animations in cinnamon Linux Mint Cinnamon Desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/04/disable-animations-cinnamon-Linux-mint-800x466.png)

You can choose to disable some or all effects.

If you go to the Customize tab, you can customize various effects you saw in the ‘Enable Effects’ tab.

![customize window animation cinnamon linux mint](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/04/customize-window-animation-cinnamon-linux-mint-800x571.png)

The first column is the name of the effect, second one is the type of animation, third one is how the animation progresses and in the last one, you can configure how long the animation will take to complete.

If you select None, easeNone and 0 duration, it is equivalent to disabling the effect. Though, using the disable option in the other tab is an easier option.

## Is it worth the effort?

I wrote this tip because a reader asked if it was [possible to customize Cinnamon](https://itsfoss.com/customize-cinnamon-desktop/) and disable the animations.

Quite honestly, it doesn’t take much effort and it doesn’t make much difference. You’ll hardly notice the visual impacts or even the performance improvements.

However, if your system is struggling a lot, every tiny bit helps. You can also try using lightweight applications that consume fewer system resources. That may also help you a bit.
