    I remember being endlessly entertained by the rotating cube animation between workspaces in the old Beryl implementation.

    I told my wife, “but does your Windows do this?” Followed by rotating the cube. She was like, “I don’t care.” And that was that.

    I shall tell this story to my grandkids.

      Wow, that sums up my Linux life pretty well actually

        Does your Windows do this? *doesn’t crash*

        But seriously, yesterday I cloned my main partition to a new laptop into an LVM volume on LUKS. Because I did not have any way of putting the new NVMe and old SATA SSD into one machine, I just used netcat over an ad hoc network.

        nc -l 10000 > /dev/main/root
        

        on the new Laptop and

        cat /dev/sda3 | nc 10.31.69.1 10000 -q 0
        

        on the old one. Worked perfectly. Now do that on Windows with builtin tools in live boots.
