       A developer who doesn't use Apple wanted Liquid Glass on their Linux desktop, so they built it as a GNOME Shell extension. It uses real refraction shaders, not just a simple blur, so there is a performance hit – but still, it's pretty cool! https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/09/liquid-glass-gnome-shell?v1#linux #gnome #ubuntu

       @rotopenguin Haha, I agree. It's a nice demo of the technical flexibility of GNOME Shell (though poor little Intel iGPU isn't happy at being asked to run it for 20 mins).

       @omgubuntu Shaders is the way. Using them in desktops was a long time coming.
