    Why is everyone so hyped about this? As far as I remember the cube has been there since… I can’t even remember, I know KDE 3.5 had the cube but I’m not sure if it existed before, so it’s literally been there for at least two decades.

      I remember those nights configuring compiz to perfection. It had amazing look and feel. It was a sight to behold.

      Then I realized how useless it was and reverted it all to standard 2D workspaces.

        I first beheld the glory of the cube in 2009. It was transcendental. I almost felt my soul leaving my body and ascending to a higher plane of consciousness, where few have treaded and those that truly grasp its majesty, yet fewer still. I was swept up in the spiritual, yet fleeting, ephemeral, and mercurial experience that was like no other. We were no more than ants trying to understand Einstein’s Relativity, or dung beetles oblivious to the sonorous rapture of Mozart.

        I flipped the cube for a couple more times to show it to my unimpressed wife, and promptly never booted into Ubuntu since.
