  6. Twenty years after #Compiz on #Linux (and like fifteen years after their disappearance), wobble effects finally have arrived on the #iPhone

    What a useless feature.

  10. Visual effects like this aren't simply eye candy, they're mentally beneficial.

    For instance, this "burning" effect of closing a desktop window gives a satisfying feeling of finality (closure) with whatever task I was handling in it, freeing up my mind and allowing more focus to the next thing.

    Emulating a physical action (such as burning) ties in the real world to a digital action, which Apple for instance knows very well is extremely valuable to the experience of the user, who happens to be meatware (READ: a human).

  15. There are a plethora of newer DE, windows manager, Wayland etc...

    But nothing compare with #Gnome2 + #Compiz, for this reason I use #Xfce and #WindowMaker; all the rest is boring...

  16. @rl_dane That's fair. I have a computer friend who thinks the same way.
    I remember how Canonical's Unity (despite its flaws) had a feature (maybe it was just part of #compiz (oh compiz! I forgot! So much fun!)?) where the titlebar would turn into a menubar when you hovered over it (IIRC). Unity was so pretty. If only it wasn't so buggy. (It was so bad it was the reason I [temporarily] left Linux as a kid.)

    (I wish parentheses worked in spoken language like they do in text lol)

  20. I know this is stupid, and I know this is simple, and I know that #Compiz had this over a decade ago, but to have a #KDE #window I'm working in #explode into a bajillion pieces when I close/ exit the window is just so damn satisfying. I've missed shit like this. Yes it's superficial. I don't care. I like eye candy!

  24. Desktop environment is the perfect compromise between Xfce, KDE Plasma, Gnome, and Budgie. It's fast, user friendly for both ex Windows/Mac users, while still offering a wide variety of immediately useful features without being overwhelming. It doesn't come with bloat software as well. Intuitive, clean, remarkably satisfying to use.

    comes second as the feature doesn't work by default on .

    Had to find a alternative; latest update was in Aug 2022.

  25. Desktop environment #Cinnamon is the perfect compromise between Xfce, KDE Plasma, Gnome, and Budgie. It's fast, user friendly for both ex Windows/Mac users, while still offering a wide variety of immediately useful features without being overwhelming. It doesn't come with bloat software as well. Intuitive, clean, remarkably satisfying to use.

    #Budgie comes second as the #hotcorner feature doesn't work by default on #ArchLinux.

    Oh man, I used to use urxvt back in the day (circa 2020-2) because it had a great classic "fake transparency*" mode that I was missing with other terminals.

    * Fake transparency just reproduces the part of the root window (wallpaper) directly underneath the terminal window as its own background and applies a tint. It's how we did transparent windows back in 2000 a few years before compositors like #Compiz. It's "fake" transparency because as soon as there was another window underneath the terminal window, the illusion melted away.

  32. @akaremii Дрожащие, складывающиеся и сгорающие окна, куб рабочего стола и т.д. — бесполезно, но выглядит потрясающе.
    Примерно вот так: youtu.be/4QokOwvPxrE?feature=s (снято не мной).
    Там не всё показано. Куб можно сделать полупрозрачным: через ближайшую грань будут видны другие грани под соответствующими углами. Куб можно наклонять вверх-вниз: и видеть все грани с обратной стороны. Видеокарта у меня слабенькая (GeForce GT 710 954Mhz 1024Mb), а памяти, когда я использовал #Compiz, было 4 ГБ (сейчас 16).

  35. @akaremii Рабочий стол выбирают по ощущениям. IMHO, #KDE нравится любителям украшательств. Вы видели #Compiz и #Beryl? Я когда-то давно поставил, посмотрел на сгорающие окна и куб рабочего стола, а через несколько дней снёс — день-два восхищает, дальше приедается, продолжая неслабо потреблять оперативную память.

    IMHO, в технике полезно применять принцип «конструкции вместо стилей, расчёт суровый гаек и стали» (#Маяковский).

    AFAIK, название среды рабочего стола #MATE не английское, а испанское.
