Turning off the transition animation when changing workspaces in Compiz (GNOME2/UNITY)

To change the animation you will need CompizConfig settings manager

To install it:

apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

or via Ubuntu Software Center.

Open CompizConfig settings manager.

Under Desktop → Desktop Wall → Viewport switching set Wall sliding duration to 0.

for Ubuntu 18.04 I use this, you just need to install the gnome-shell extension (for either chrome, firefox) and then
