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.

IIRC Compiz was a fork of Beryl or the other way around. I could be wrong though.

Last I checked you can still do the cube in kwin under plasma.

It was gone from Plasma for a bit, however it'll be back in the next upcoming Plasma 6 release!

Yep, same! Some of my friends have told me it's a bit "silly" for me to have it enabled - but there's plenty of bad things that occur on a daily basis in my life, I do not think there's a single problem with having some wobbly windows as a small vice to enjoy haha.
