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 have setup the cube to a hotkey and only used it to test if it is working. It's amazing, but kind of useless. :D
what is the cube ?? so intriguing

Sorry for the straight link, but, this is the cube. The cube is pretty cool
That's been around for a while hasn't it?
Depends on what you mean by "a while". The cube is known since a decade, but was lost to old tech based on compiz. Since then some people tried to bring it back on the newer desktop environments through extensions and a new implementation of the idea. I think someone wrote an extension for GNOME before. The version on KDE is independent from that and different.
compiz and emerald, wow I was not expecting to unlock that memory tonight!
Yeah, that about lines up with the last time I saw it I think and compiz sounds familiar. Cool to see they brought it back!
i also remember having the cube around the same time in OSX somehow but I forget the method
We only accept gay links here, buddy.
Oooh I've seen this years ago ! looks pretty cool. It's basically a workspace switcher.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It's not useless. It's a gateway drug for getting into linux. "But can your windows PC do this?" is a great way to recruit people to try linux ;)
Yes, but not out of the box. 😅
