Beautiful! I remember my Ubuntu 10.10 with compiz fusion.. It was gorgeous. Good old days

Bring back compiz!!!
Nice! I still have wobbly windows to this day! :)
You should be taking a screenshot of your desktop, not taking a picture of it at a weird angle.
Wait a minute.
I wanted to have a computer fast enough to run that so bad back in the early 00's.
On my PC at the time I would get single digit frames when those animations played 😂
RIP, did you ever get that sorted out?
Compiz was too intense for my computers back in the day and I honestly haven't tried since
It seems like it is not too late for you.

My octagon from 2008, I had forgot all about this!
Edit: sorry for the potato quality, these are screen caps from a video I uploaded to YouTube, which is only available at 360p.
I didn't link the video because it shows my web browser open with plenty of doxxing information, I wasn't very bright back then.
Shh. We don't talk about those days.
Why not? I forgot how much I loved compiz
GNOME has extensions that can bring these kinds of effects back:
- https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4648/desktop-cube/
- https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4679/burn-my-windows/
The easiest way to set these up is to use the "Extension Manager" app (available on Flathub) and search for "cube" and "burn" (and install each).

I've invested so much time into tweaking compiz just to always switch windows/desktops via shortcuts.
But iirc wobbly windows back then were available only via compiz.
