    Plasma 6 has so many fucking bugs. Holy shit it drives me crazy.

    One thing is, that when starting Apex Legends, all Windows just suddenly start to loose the understanding on whether they should go below or over a Window when focused. They suddenly go below other windows when focused.

    Sound System Notification sound too loud? Well, shit for you, you can’t make it quieter now.

    Having two monitors with each a panel on the bottom? After a suspend and wake up, its possible that your main panel or right one just goes inbetween those two Monitors.

    Of course the cube doesn’t work for me as I have six desktops and as we all know, cubes only have four sides 🙄

    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

    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.

    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!

          Thanks!

          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!

        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.

      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…

    If I learned anything when using Blender, it’s that the first thing you do is to delete the default cube.
