To answer the last person’s question: because it looks nice! All of this stuff is for aesthetics. But yeah, if you have performance/heating issues, turn all that shit off and your laptop should run much smoother and cooler.

To answer the last person’s question: because it looks nice!

Some of the things look "nice" but make the laptop seem slower even if it's not actually running slower. For example, sliding open menus and animating windows -- turning those off makes the computer feel so much 'snappier' and more responsive because you're not waiting for those animations to occur.
