boomer "influencers" whining about Linux because SPINNAN CUBEZ doesn't come out of the box anymore should be shot

@silhouette you could have a good desktop environment using spinnan cubez but it took a lot of work. prefer just using herbstluftwm these days

@silhouette i've actually tried the spinnan cubez setup i used to use again, most of the supporting software is still maintained, and it's just categorically worse in every way

@whiteline i mean i liked the flexibility of Compiz back in the day, but that shit ate resources like there's no tomorrow. And yeah the big, commercial distros have streamlined the stack quite a bit in recent years, but as you mention you can still recreate that 2008-2010 desktop aesthetic and XFCE and MATE haven't changed much anyway.

@silhouette MATE hasn't, that being the point, but XFCE uses gtk3 now so you can't really use the old themes and the whole feel of it is different
