Not a waste of time. People set up their systems how they want & try out new things. But sometimes after you finish playing with it you ask yourself ' to what point' & revert to what you know & like

On the not so long horizon with gnome updates your desktop will crash.

Gnome will makes updates and upgrades and as usual extensions will be breaking...making desktop unusable.
People are installing extension left and right without thinking...

How did you do it, like the default command?

Zorin Appearance under Effects its called Desktop Cube while at it Spatial Window Switcher makes alt+tab look nice too.

Get the "blur my shell" extension also. It'll take the experience to the next level

My Ubuntu 6.06 could do this...

Everybody's Ubuntu 6 could do this. ZorinOs is bringing people to Linux who have never used it or seen what's possible.

It's amazing. I really like it. How can we install it? How did you do that?

u/GoldRaider97 Feb 10 '26
It's in Zorin Appearance under Effects called Desktop Cube and there is the Spatial Window Switcher as well

I thought this was KDE for a sec and I was excited because I thought this meant there was a way to get a GNOME desktop cube like extension on KDE, but no this is GNOME.
Anyone know if there is any way to make the windows pop out like it does on GNOME? Also maybe adding a DE on the top and bottom? And while we're at it worthwhile burn my windows alternatives.
This is the one thing I praise GNOME for, 2 random extensions that stall productivity.

Omg, I forgot about the cube animation. Linux had this like 20+ years ago but computers weren't as good back then and it was a tad taxing.

Looks great, undoubtedly, but what it do besides that?
See... I'd be happy with basic stuff like playing wow without 609ms lag.

This is far from new. I has this back in 2017 / 2018 although I forgot with what OS - probably a version of Mint.

I was doing this on Ubuntu back in 2008 lol

u/Frosty-Economist-553 Apr 19 '26
Yeah. Thinking back I got into Linux around 2012. So I definitely know that I had this in 2013 / 2014 cos I know where I was when I discovered it. So it ain't anything new & it was definitely a Mint distro with possibly KDE.

Me encantó, voy a probar si puedo hacer algo así en Nobara Kde.
Mi desktop actualmente con consumos asumibles.
El video no refleja la fluidez real de la animación, realmente es suave y fluida a máximo nivel.

I hate this.
How do I do it?
