I achieved better gaming performance/snappyness with gnome through these tweaks.

Want to be able to take screenshots interactively in gnome, but dont want the "save to file" functionality?
Write to null and make it save but in the void (making it not save any screenshot(s) ever again. Until you reverse it ofc)
ln -s /dev/null ~/Pictures/Screenshots
Notice: This is for GNOME screenshots! // Can be applied to other things like spectacle etc. But thats a field you have to research yourself.
//==============================//
Why would you want to do that...
Just clean the Screenshots folder from time to time or make a systemd timer to do that...
Whynot? it automates the purpose and doesn't cause any negative results 
each to their own adjustment
does not cause any negative results
if you want to save even a single screenshot, you remove the symlink anyway...
But thats the point. I dont..
Gnome screenshots just dont have a toggle for this, which is really really poor design choice to begin with
I mean just because you dont find it useful, doesnt mean others wont? these are my personal things i like to do with my install, because it makes it work for me. And most Windows users coming to Linux and especially starting to use KDE / Gnome etc are arguably gonna want adjustments like this to mimic familiarity.
Besides, not having a toggle for either window effects nor screenshot saving. Thats just absurd
300mb is 300mb.
if it was nothing, it would've been exactly nothing (null) which this is

im just saying
