One thing to keep in mind that drives me insane is that the default animation speed on android, 1x, is very slow. It makes the UI feel heavy. Turning this to .5x, or even off, makes it feel more performant.

First thing I do on any new Android phone. It's also a great parlor trick, people are almost always amazed you can make their phone "faster" in under a minute.

For those who don't know, enable Developer Options, then change "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale" all to "0.5x". It should really be the default and I'm surprised there isn't a "0.25x" as of yet.

i can't find these settings anywhere on lineageOS

Go to settings > about phone, and find the section that shows the "Build number". Tap it a bunch of times until it enables the Developer options for you. I don't know if it's different for Lineage, but that's how you do it for Android phones.

Tap on build number (about page) 7 times.
