Description

Discussed in https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/discussions/785

Originally posted by alessandromrc October 10, 2025
I noticed that after disabling the Windows Snap feature, application movements around my GNOME desktop environment feel much snappier and cleaner.

I’m wondering if it would make sense to include this tweak directly in the installation scripts so that everyone can benefit from it.

Trace where installation-time desktop configuration is applied, then verify that newly installed setups have Windows snapping disabled without disrupting the existing integration.
