Depends on what you mean by “a while”. The cube is known since a decade, but was lost to old tech based on compiz. Since then some people tried to bring it back on the newer desktop environments through extensions and a new implementation of the idea. I think someone wrote an extension for GNOME before. The version on KDE is independent from that and different.
I have setup the cube to a hotkey and only used it to test if it is working. It’s amazing, but kind of useless. :D
what is the cube ?? so intriguing

Sorry for the straight link, but, this is the cube. The cube is pretty cool
That’s been around for a while hasn’t it?

compiz and emerald, wow I was not expecting to unlock that memory tonight!
Yeah, that about lines up with the last time I saw it I think and compiz sounds familiar. Cool to see they brought it back!
i also remember having the cube around the same time in OSX somehow but I forget the method
We only accept gay links here, buddy.
Oooh I’ve seen this years ago ! looks pretty cool. It’s basically a workspace switcher.
It’s not useless. It’s a gateway drug for getting into linux. “But can your windows PC do this?” is a great way to recruit people to try linux ;)
Yes, but not out of the box. 😅
