Color management was the thing keeping me away from Wayland so that’s cool. Excited to try it.

Wow!

What about the flaming and jelly windows? That was cool stuff

Wobbly windows are in stock kde as an option, flaming is a thing with a 3rd party gnome and i think kde extension

Wayfire brought back the compiz self-immolating window.

Actually I wonder if they named ‘wayfire’ after that fire effect.

Honestly we need more of this stuff. Enough boring Apple blur, let’s see some creativity.

THE DESKTOP CUBE?!

I know, right?!

Nice. I was just looking for that to demonstrate to a friend who was looking to switch to Linux.

I remember back in the day, Linux users couldn’t shut up about that damn cube. It was the coolest thing on Linux, apparently. I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years now, and I’ve never seen it.

I was never much of one to use multiple desktops, but visually, back when XP was the best Microsoft had, it felt like magic to see your windows show up in 3D. Things like wobbly windows and flame closing also seemed like magic. Someone truly outside of what was possible on Windows. In the end they were a fad, but they were a good demonstration of the power and customizability of Linux.

I’m also going to need some confirmation that wobbly windows will still work in plasma 6 before I commit to an upgrade.

Loved the wobbly windows

I’m still using them tbh. Non-wobbly windows feel old school to me now lol
