I'm currently using Linux (Ubuntu 21.10 on a 2015 Core i3), Windows (on a 10th gen core i7 laptop with lots of RAM but an iGPU), and macOS on an M1 Mac Mini, macOS definitely feels the slowest.

I suspect if my Windows laptop was closer to the other devices it would be slower, but Linux just feels so much faster than macOS in actual tasks. The interactions are so much "snappier", whereas with macOS most interactions feel like a chore (I think it's the animations).

You can turn some animations off, system pref > accessibility > display > reduce motion, and dock & menu bar, uncheck “animate opening applications” + “Minimize windows using” scale effect seems a touch faster than minimize with genie effect.

But agreed, the interface is not as snappy as windows and Linux.
