Beautiful! I remember my Ubuntu 10.10 with compiz fusion.. It was gorgeous. Good old days

Nice! I still have wobbly windows to this day! :)

Really? With what tools?

highduc@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I use KDE and it has desktop effects built in. One of them is wobbly windows, which I always enable. It has animations for switching virtual desktops too, but I don't see the cube around anymore, maybe it needs to be installed separately.

The cube is planned to be reintroduced in KDE 6

The Cube will return with Plasma 6: https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/27/these-past-2-weeks-in-kde-wayland-color-management-the-desktop-cube-returns-and-optional-shadows-in-spectacle/

(They had removed it, because it was difficult to maintain. Now it's been rewritten, using a new Desktop Effects API.)

Awesome!

Amazing, I never stayed that much with KDE, IDK why it just didn't click with me.

Not OP, but Wayfire has all the old-school effects plus some new ones too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2MR7Qh9ECE

This looks so cool.

You should be taking a screenshot of your desktop, not taking a picture of it at a weird angle.

Wait a minute.

This was the "VR/AR" of my younger days.

I wanted to have a computer fast enough to run that so bad back in the early 00's.
On my PC at the time I would get single digit frames when those animations played 😂

RIP, did you ever get that sorted out?

Chocrates@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Compiz was too intense for my computers back in the day and I honestly haven't tried since

kratoz29@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It seems like it is not too late for you.

Chocrates@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Haha nice! I think I am still running X because my dock didn't want my monitors to show up on Wayland, but I'm hoping when the next Ubuntu lts comes out I can switch!

Shh. We don't talk about those days.

kratoz29@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 2y

I miss those days (งツ)ว

Why not? I forgot how much I loved compiz

sir_pronoun@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Because we also don't talk about the hairstyles we wore in the 80s

beastlykings@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y

That's fair I guess lol.

Still though, kind of neat 😁
