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.

I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.
I told my wife, "but does your Windows do this?" Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, "I don't care." And that was that.
I shall tell this story to my grandkids.
I think I accomplished a similar effect on my first linux distro a long time ago with a program called "compiz" (iirc). "I'm so frickin 1337," I whispered under my breath. Nobody cared except me, though, lol.
IIRC Compiz was a fork of Beryl or the other way around. I could be wrong though.
Last I checked you can still do the cube in kwin under plasma.
It was gone from Plasma for a bit, however it'll be back in the next upcoming Plasma 6 release!
at least wobbly windows stuck around though. i've had that on for like 10 years
Yep, same! Some of my friends have told me it's a bit "silly" for me to have it enabled - but there's plenty of bad things that occur on a daily basis in my life, I do not think there's a single problem with having some wobbly windows as a small vice to enjoy haha.
Woohoo!
Life in a nutshell...
Oh yeah, it was the shit a long time ago.
