I legitimately credit Compiz and CCSM for kick-starting my obsession with FOSS and probably doubling or more my salary by getting me on Linux earlier in life.

It was really cool configuring the compiz cube for a weekend. It was tailored to perfection! Then I figured how useless it actually was.

I just recently felt this again, since I decided it had been too long since I’d installed a weird OS, and now I’m running Wayfire on FreeBSD as suggested by the Wayland section of the setup guide and it turns out…it’s a descendant of Compiz. Wobbly windows are BACK!

Compiz was a house of cards you kept building higher. Let me just launch my ‘cube skybox 3d-multilayer wobbly windows with fire effects, shading and sticky edges’ - desktop. When Vista was the alternative it was the goddamn future.
