    Wobbly windows are cool, but have you tried the effect that burns up the window when you close it? That one is lit

    [–] captain_aggravated 46 points 10 months ago

    Yeah that effect is fire.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    If that's actually a thing, I need it!

    Oh yeah, party time.

    Edit- really wow this is much more advanced, many next level effects

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Wow that's a cool idea, though the fire shader has some room for improvement.

    If only some of those VFX shader developers from the gaming industry found their way to this project...

    Will definitely give this a try next time I use a GNOME DE.

    It's also available on plasma.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    something like this would be really neat if you could have it interact with the borders of your other windows

    Haha that's a way to do it. Awesome visuals though this is probably more CPU heavy than it's worth for the use case of destroying application windows.

    Not sure if simulating every active window is a good idea either. What if you accidentally set fire to your Facebook page?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I want it to behave like Little Inferno and if the fire touches other windows they also burn.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    I set it to glitch when close, its great

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    I used to do it with Beryl and Compiz close to 20 years ago, so I assume there's a modern version available.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I used compiz fusion. Sadly it appears to not be available anymore.

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    compiz and emerald are still in the debian repos.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I use arch btw

    [–] CaptDust 4 points 10 months ago

    This is how I remember it, it let users adjust the burn speed too https://piped.video/watch?v=mbT7FGMzVFw

    [–] ratman150 57 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Never understood why this isn't on every distro and DE ever. I want DSL with wobbly windows damnit.

    [–] [email protected] 71 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    This. Fucking this. Wobbling windows were around in the early days of Ubuntu's existence which was a long ass time ago and it was probably possible to get them even before that. Surely they've figured out a good way to make them work without fucking up your entire system by now.

    Edit: oh, turns out KDE already has that option on my system.

    Edit 2: Shit. How do you unfuck KDE? Asking for a friend.

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    KDE always gives you enough rope to hang yourself. Like, set the transparency of all windows to 100% and wonder why the system is fucked, or whatever haha.

    Working blind, and from memory (I didn't check my system): depending on your system, there will be a kwin config file in .local or .config or .kde or similar in your home directory. Assuming you have console access, df -h | grep kwin will probably find it for you. Take a peak in the file first to make sure it's reasonable that this is the right file to nuke. Rename it something like kwinrc-backup and restart KDE.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Not OP (OC? Not the person you were helping, you get what I mean), are you sure you meant df -h? fd -H seems more useful for to me when trying to find a specific file in a dotfolder, though even that didn't work on my system. fd ignores ~/.config by default, so you need to use fd -u (which is an alias for fd -I -H) to find the correct files.

    Anyways, from your description it seems like the correct file would be ~/.config/kwinrc, which exists on my system.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

    It's probable there are better ways at finding things, but sometimes these commands are sort of muscle memory and I don't even think to explore what else is out there once I have something that works for me ;)

    It's hard to teach an old dog like myself new tricks. I still think git was a mistake and long for centralized revision control systems... Because that's what I grew up with ;)

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    Normally, you shouldn't be able to set the transparency to 100% anymore. I remember reporting it as a bug years ago and it getting fix a bit afterwards.

    I've always had my desktops set so that I could scroll on the windows borders to set the transparency. It's very convenient.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

    Its literally the second reason I wanted Zorin OS.

    With the Linux community I think it's canon to say the socks stay on. From the socks that are adorned with sandals to the socks that go above the knee.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    how do we feel about knee socks with sandals?

    The fact that he used an image of Jello is a stroke of genius.

    Wobbly Windows is probably the first thing I enable on a fresh system.

    Every time.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Y'all are crazy, I like to know where my window is with decent precision when I move it around. Is there a way to have the windows wobble by default but turn off/tighten up while holding shift or something? I might try it out if this is an option

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Maybe a setting where windows wobble, only when you're not moving them around.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I'd love a stting where the windows just casually wobble more and more until your entire screen is just triangle artifacts

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I think you can do this by aiming a hair dryer at your graphics card while you play Minecraft with ray tracing

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

    No, this is how we discovered fusion.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

    sorry fellas, the window manager is staying on during intercourse.

    No negotiations.

    I didn't know they made glass dildos

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    weren't dildos originally made of glass?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I think the true OG dildos were stone. I found a rather phallic shaped rock as a kid, and it would not surprise me in the slightest if someone used it as one ages ago.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    Stone age indeed

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    Wayland plus Nvidia be like: amateurs!

    Yes... ladies. Sure.
