i have an old i3 6gb ram sony vaio laptop. windows 10 animations worked pretty smooth but I learnt that on linux it would have been more lightweight. however so, the desktop animations are very laggy. is there a reason for this? can it be fixed?

#

also im using linux mint cinnamon edition

If not, then use XFCE

XFCE is more liteweight than Cinnamon on lower RAM
