From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's a setting we have in our body. Two or more cups of strong coffee will make my mouse wobbly.

It's anxiety for me. Gets the legs jiggling.

I would never use anything like this. But I want it to exist. Wobbly windows got me into Linux back in 2006. Compiz, Beryl… so cool, so stupid… keep us updated!

I used to think that wobbly windows were silly, but Garuda has then as default, and now I love them. I don't usually drag windows, though, because I just full-screen everything and then alt-Tab between them.

Every time I use Windows it just feels stiff and wrong.

I still use wobbly windows and desktop cube on one of my machines NGL. I'd use desktop cube on the laptop as well but I can't find one that works in KDE.

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh is the built in KDE one gone? That's so sad, I didn't know

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah it looks like they dropped it in 2021 and AFAIK there isn't a replacement yet. Unless anyone here knows of one, which would be gratefully received!

(Relevant part from link):

The latest Plasma release dropped a few desktop effects: the cube family, CoverSwitch and FlipSwitch. All of those effects were written back in 2008, the early days of KDE 4.x and the early days of desktop effects in KWin. The effects were implemented by me and when Vlad asked about removing them I saw the need for this and supported this step for technical reasons.

If you find one I'd be interested

[–] OrangeXarot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

I did some fast search obviously before asking, so yeah, for now nothing
