You're absolutely right. So I do without 30 FPS.

We're all up this tree where we want all the features we're used to and we're willing to put up with software bloat and insecure software and sprawling supply chains to get it. I'm not. So I start with something minimalist and do what I can within it.

Does this mean that you're rendering at 1fps, 10fps or something?

Is it an artificial limit you put on rendering?

Do you have button animations at 30 FPS?

All I meant is, if drawing too many things overloads the system so it can't render at 30fps, that's fine, I build things that don't look bad if the rate drops. I can't do action games, high-speed video, a few other things. That's fine, I can still do lots of things.

You can lower the frame rate when the window is not focused, or entirely avoid drawing if it's not visible.

Well, that's certainly an interesting approach!
