    Wobbly windows are cool, but have you tried the effect that burns up the window when you close it? That one is lit

      This. Fucking this. Wobbling windows were around in the early days of Ubuntu’s existence which was a long ass time ago and it was probably possible to get them even before that. Surely they’ve figured out a good way to make them work without fucking up your entire system by now.

      Edit: oh, turns out KDE already has that option on my system.

      Edit 2: Shit. How do you unfuck KDE? Asking for a friend.

        KDE always gives you enough rope to hang yourself. Like, set the transparency of all windows to 100% and wonder why the system is fucked, or whatever haha.

        Working blind, and from memory (I didn’t check my system): depending on your system, there will be a kwin config file in .local or .config or .kde or similar in your home directory. Assuming you have console access, df -h | grep kwin will probably find it for you. Take a peak in the file first to make sure it’s reasonable that this is the right file to nuke. Rename it something like kwinrc-backup and restart KDE.

          Not OP (OC? Not the person you were helping, you get what I mean), are you sure you meant df -h? fd -H seems more useful for to me when trying to find a specific file in a dotfolder, though even that didn’t work on my system. fd ignores ~/.config by default, so you need to use fd -u (which is an alias for fd -I -H) to find the correct files.

          Anyways, from your description it seems like the correct file would be ~/.config/kwinrc, which exists on my system.

            It’s probable there are better ways at finding things, but sometimes these commands are sort of muscle memory and I don’t even think to explore what else is out there once I have something that works for me ;)

            It’s hard to teach an old dog like myself new tricks. I still think git was a mistake and long for centralized revision control systems… Because that’s what I grew up with ;)

          Normally, you shouldn’t be able to set the transparency to 100% anymore. I remember reporting it as a bug years ago and it getting fix a bit afterwards.

          I’ve always had my desktops set so that I could scroll on the windows borders to set the transparency. It’s very convenient.

    With the Linux community I think it’s canon to say the socks stay on. From the socks that are adorned with sandals to the socks that go above the knee.

    Y’all are crazy, I like to know where my window is with decent precision when I move it around. Is there a way to have the windows wobble by default but turn off/tighten up while holding shift or something? I might try it out if this is an option

      Maybe a setting where windows wobble, only when you’re not moving them around.

        I’d love a stting where the windows just casually wobble more and more until your entire screen is just triangle artifacts
