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.

Research direction
Examine the installation scripts in the repository (e.g., install.sh or files in scripts/) to locate where Windows or GNOME settings are configured. The discussion suggests adding a command to disable Windows Snap via gsettings. Look for similar existing tweaks and ensure the change is compatible with both GNOME and KDE.
