I have heard you guys on Lemmy like Linux, what do you think about this old picture of my desktops from 2010-2011.

Nice! I still have wobbly windows to this day! :)
-
Really? With what tools?
-
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.
-
Not OP, but Wayfire has all the old-school effects plus some new ones too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2MR7Qh9ECE

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.

My octagon from 2008, I had forgot all about this!
Edit: sorry for the potato quality, these are screen caps from a video I uploaded to YouTube, which is only available at 360p.
I didn't link the video because it shows my web browser open with plenty of doxxing information, I wasn't very bright back then.

I've invested so much time into tweaking compiz just to always switch windows/desktops via shortcuts.
But iirc wobbly windows back then were available only via compiz.

@kratoz29 The linux desktop on a LSD screen

Linux and LSD merged? What a crazy mix.

GNOME has extensions that can bring these kinds of effects back:
- https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4648/desktop-cube/
- https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4679/burn-my-windows/
The easiest way to set these up is to use the "Extension Manager" app (available on Flathub) and search for "cube" and "burn" (and install each).
