In KDE, the Desktop Cube is back
For those on Linux (on GNOME and KDE, at least), experimentation is still alive and well in https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows#readme.
-
So recently i found this unholy feature in KDE's desktop...

On the Importance of Continuous Integration Tests...
This is the first time, one of my extensions (Burn-My-Windows) broke on a new version of GNOME Shell for plenty of users and I failed to notice this in advance. And the breaking changes in GNOME Shell and Mutter were pushed more than five months ago!
-
Found this by accident while messing around with a config file on windows, does KDE Plasma have an animation like this for moving windows? if yes then I'll probably consider dual booting Linux because this would honestly look really neat.
I don't think that is currently possible, or at least I'm not aware of any option to make it behave like so. I guess you can ask on the project's discussion page about it.
-
Burn-My-Windows received a massive update!
The update is available for all GNOME versions since 3.36, including GNOME 44! Read the full changelog here.

Show HN: Parallax wallpaper engine for Linux and Windows
Plasma has wobbly windows built in still.
And there's this: https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows

I created a series of window-themed wallpapers for one of my FOSS projects
I am developing extensions for Linux which add fancy animations for opening and closing application windows. A couple of days ago, I decided to create matching wallpapers for show-casing the effects! First time using Midjourney, but I am very pleased with the results.
-
Burn-My-Windows now includes a new Glitch effect!
Btw, I've written a tutorial for creating BMW effects: https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/blob/main/docs/how-to-create-new-effects.md
-
Burn-My-Windows 23 adds the most ridiculous window animation yet!
However, for some reason, I cannot upload the new effect to the KDE store currently. Until this is fixed, you can download the KDE version of the new effect from Github (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/releases/tag/v23)

Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features
Unusable until moving your mouse to the edges of the screen and clicking makes it hit the scrollbar, or the exit button. Right now it initiates a resize.
Illustrated example from a different compositor https://github.com/WayfireWM/wayfire/issues/570
It's the only DE I'm excited about it so I hope they fix that. Very very promising and the best part is that it made the GNOME people mad.
GNOME: "Sorry I don't see the use case for that, PR closed. Make your own project. "

Wayfire (a Wayland compositor) 0.8.0 announcement
One of the developers just responded on the github issue referecing this thread.
"After a bit of discussion on HackerNews, I got a bit better understanding of the actual problem. People don't want to just configure the keys according to a particular layout - the actual 'issue' here is that they expect the key binding changes together with the layout. Unfortunately, the 0.8.0 changes didn't make this possible to implement as a plugin.
I would reconsider adding this as an option if there are enough interested people. React with a thumbs up to this comment if you are interested in having this option (though the defaults will certainly remain as they are now). Please, react only if you actually use Wayfire or would use it if it had this feature :)"

Is wayland still bad with Nvidia?
I have been on Wayfire for over a year now, and I can't possibly praise it enough. It's entirely modular, so you can make it look and behave exactly as you want. It does tiling, it does Compiz-style wobbly windows and 3D desktop cubes, configurable rules and hotkeys, everything. It's stable and handles gaming flawlessly.
-
Do we finally switch to Wayland or not?
Your impression of Wayland is going to be very much determined by the quality of the compositor implementing it, and I've found Wayfire to be the best, by far - but oddly, also the one least talked about. Everybody's paying attention to stuff like Hyprland, Sway and Mutter - you're barking up the wrong tree there. Wayfire is fantastic, has most of the bells and whistles Compiz on X11 has, and is as pretty or as functional as you want it to be.

BGFX problem
I thought so too not long ago, but Wayland compositors needed some time to mature, and some of them are getting pretty damn good. Ever since I discovered Wayfire I'm a total believer, it's better than any X window management solution I've used. Much lighter too.
