    Why is everyone so hyped about this? As far as I remember the cube has been there since… I can’t even remember, I know KDE 3.5 had the cube but I’m not sure if it existed before, so it’s literally been there for at least two decades.

      I remember those nights configuring compiz to perfection. It had amazing look and feel. It was a sight to behold.

      Then I realized how useless it was and reverted it all to standard 2D workspaces.

        I was a little late getting to the compiz party but I used it as my default WM for years and years. It is still being updated and is now extremely stable (which I understand was the biggest issue in its early days). I have surrendered to the darkside though and just use KDE cause it does everything that almost anyone could need now and it does it pretty good.

        I havent thought about compiz since college. I was so cool with my vdm. Until it was time to play WoW and I had to boot to windows. Wasnt too bad, though, got it down to a few minutes by disabling all that shiny nonsense in 7 to make it look like xp.

      I am pretty sure Plasma 5 didn’t have it by default. There might have been a 3rd-party extension, though.
