Ubuntu 18.10 Beta Now Available For Testing The Cosmic Cuttlefish

Oh my god, what happened in this cycle, Gnome Shell / Mutter is much slower than in the previous version where it was already slow. I love the work carried out by the Gnome Team & Canonical (and other DEs too but I cannot believe a single window animation can still lag in 2018. (I tried 3 different GPUs and 2 machines that are lightning fast under KDE for instance).

Does it mean the numerous optimizations carried out in this cycle saved memory but cost in cpu cycle and/or smoothness ? (I must say preserving memory is important too)

That's what happens when they prioritize "developer time/effort" to resulting code quality/optimizations. Who gives a shit of the millions of users suffering, right?

And thus most "modern" software is in a perpetual state of sucking. We need more of Linus.

I don't find it to be slower. (It's still slow and cpu hungry) I'm using an Intel 3570K and the integrated HD4400 graphics.

Atom ⚛ doesn't work, However Atom beta does work.
VS Code doesn't work.

Why? I use both in Kubuntu 18.04 and they work fine.

Yeah, they work fine on 18.04, but I am running 18.10.
