I have setup the cube to a hotkey and only used it to test if it is working. It’s amazing, but kind of useless. :D
what is the cube ?? so intriguing

Sorry for the straight link, but, this is the cube. The cube is pretty cool
That’s been around for a while hasn’t it?
Depends on what you mean by “a while”. The cube is known since a decade, but was lost to old tech based on compiz. Since then some people tried to bring it back on the newer desktop environments through extensions and a new implementation of the idea. I think someone wrote an extension for GNOME before. The version on KDE is independent from that and different.
compiz and emerald, wow I was not expecting to unlock that memory tonight!
Yeah, that about lines up with the last time I saw it I think and compiz sounds familiar. Cool to see they brought it back!
i also remember having the cube around the same time in OSX somehow but I forget the method
We only accept gay links here, buddy.
Oooh I’ve seen this years ago ! looks pretty cool. It’s basically a workspace switcher.
It’s not useless. It’s a gateway drug for getting into linux. “But can your windows PC do this?” is a great way to recruit people to try linux ;)
Yes, but not out of the box. 😅
Plasma 6 has so many fucking bugs. Holy shit it drives me crazy.
One thing is, that when starting Apex Legends, all Windows just suddenly start to loose the understanding on whether they should go below or over a Window when focused. They suddenly go below other windows when focused.
Sound System Notification sound too loud? Well, shit for you, you can’t make it quieter now.
Having two monitors with each a panel on the bottom? After a suspend and wake up, its possible that your main panel or right one just goes inbetween those two Monitors.
Linux users telling you to use their new cool Desktop Environment is always bait.
I admit that I’m a little disappointed I can’t set it as my virtual desktop switch animation, and that it defaults to pointing down when invoked, but I am hopeful it’s just a matter of time on those details. :)
It ain’t quite the compiz/beryl cube, nor even what I remember as the last iteration of the kwin cube, but it’s a step in the right direction!
The Compiz cube was fun… I blogged about it nearly 20 years ago. https://d.sb/2006/09/laptop-linux-and-compiz
Ohhh man I wasn’t ready for how nostalgic the screenshots would make me feel. My friend from school told me about Ubuntu and OSS for the first time, and he came over to my house so we could mess around with the live CD. That’s what Ubuntu looked like back then!
Fun trip down memory lane. Also, bitchin’ domain name!
Thanks!
I need to redesign my site one day. Simplify it. The current design is from 2008, using design features (like the striped backgrounds) that were popular back then.
Nice. Will check it out!
