> My Linux is snappy, but I also run the most minimal of things: I run the Awesome Window Manager with no animations.

Same: a very lean Linux install with the Awesome WM, now running on a 7700X (NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD in my case). I also use one of the keyboard that comes stock with the lowest latency (and I bumped its polling rate because why not).

This feels not just a bit but very snappy.
