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!
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.
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!
Exactly, I never had the zoom-out cube, just the desktop switch version, and it was painful to lose. I was so looking forward to that in 6 but no. 😢 The zoom cube is fun too though.
I have noticed you can switch desktops after invoking with whatever keyboard shortcuts you have designated for that. I’m betting we get it as a switcher choice in an update or three…

The Compiz cube was fun… I blogged about it nearly 20 years ago. https://d.sb/2006/09/laptop-linux-and-compiz
Fun trip down memory lane. Also, removedin’ domain name!
Thanks!

Yeah I remember using the Compiz cube on Ubuntu 8(?)

Nice. Will check it out!
How did you get a single letter domain? I thought all single letters were reserved by ICANN in 1993. Did you buy it before that happened?
ICANN doesn’t run country code TLDs. I bought it through an aftermarket domain sale site (like Sedo).
I’ve actually got three of them. d.sb, d.sv and d.ls.
d.sb was around $4000 if I remember correctly.
