 The last few releases of the Ganon desktop environment have really changed my opinion about Ganon because for many years Ganon was pretty bad in my opinion I thought pretty much most of the Ganon 3 series was pretty buggy pretty slow pretty heavy and It wasn't a great desktop experience. I thought it was one of the poorer desktop experiences on Linux But with the Ganon 40 series man, that is really changed I've really enjoyed especially some of the last couple of releases of Ganon, but there's still something missing with Ganon 40 and You know, what is missing to me? Maybe it's nostalgia, but I miss some of those old-school Effects those desktop effects we had back in the Ganon 2 days You know about 15 years ago with Ganon 2 and comp is and you had some of those compositing effects where you could do fancy animations and things on the screen and I want to get some of that back in Ganon 40. So that's the topic of today's video So today I'm running a boon 2 2304 with the Ganon 44 desktop environment And I'm gonna open up a terminal and let me zoom in here So the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do a sudo apt install Ganon dash shell dash extensions dash manager We'll just make Installing some of these extensions a bit easier and it says unable to locate the package because that should just be extension without an s dash manager and now it will install correctly Now let me exit out of the terminal now Let me hit the super key to bring up the search here and type extension. Yep extension manager So now this is a easier way for us to search and install extension, so let's go ahead and browse and I'm gonna search for Wobbly windows, I want the wobbly windows effect and this one right here by Hermes 83 the compass windows effect That is the one it's got like more than 300,000 downloads. So that is one that actually works There's a couple other wobbly window extensions in the Ganon extension store But some of those are older and they no longer work, but this one should work So let's go ahead and get this installed and now that this is installed. I Moved this window around you can say I now have wobbly windows. That's a slow wobble I'm sure I could probably Change some of the animations with that But you know now I'm starting to get some of that old-school Ganon to with compia's animations, you know that nostalgia feeling that that I was looking for the wobbly windows Really helps, but there's some other extensions. I think we should add as well one of the things I really loved it was like exploding windows and setting windows on fire And I believe we have that effect available in the modern Ganon shell as well with burn my windows So let's go ahead and install burn my windows and now that we have that install Let me open up the all manager here and you can see the fire when it opens And we still have the wobbly window effect as well and when I close the window It catches on fire and just disintegrates right in front of us I have to admit I love that effect and of course all of this would not be complete if we did not also include the Classic desktop cube effect. So search for desktop cube and the very first search result here by semi He's the same guy that did the burn my windows extension. So this guy. He really knows what he's doing here Let's go ahead and install desktop cube and now that that is installed Let's go ahead and close this window and now that we have the cube enabled if I hit the super key just tap it And of course you get your Workspace overview here, right? And now if I just click the desktop with the mouse and I can just turn it like a cube And I can go in any direction That's you know, it's not quite as smooth I would say as the old comp is effect, but it's pretty smooth and some little glitchiness, but that is actually not bad Yeah, I kind of like that. Let's add some some windows to some of these desktops that way We have something to look at here. So let's move to this workspace. We'll add a terminal on this one And then tap the super key and I can go back this desktop Back around at this desktop, of course, I can move the windows around as well Yeah, very cool. Let's go ahead and get out of that. Let's close that window Get back to the terminal also close that window. So now wobbly windows burn my windows And of course the desktop cube I think this this is very important to have as part of any desktop environment Especially the GNOME desktop environment because we had these fancy effects, you know 15 20 years ago and a lot of people like myself have missed these I think going forward anytime I install a distribution that uses GNOME or if I install GNOME inside a virtual machine That I plan on keeping around I'm gonna install these effects, especially that burn my windows effect That thing is super cool Now before I go I need to thank the producers of this episode and of course I'm talking about Gabe James Maxim, my homies too bald, Matt, Nimit, Mitchell, Paul, Royal West, Armoredragon, Bech, Potato Chuck, Commander, Ingrid, George, Lee, Marstrum, Methos, Nate, Err, Yon, Paul, Peace, Archon, Floor, Polytech, Realities for less red profit, Rollin, Tools, Devler, Willian, Zenibit These guys, they're my high-steered patrons over on Patreon without these guys Let's quick look at these really cool effects that are available with the latest versions of GNOME This wouldn't be possible The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these fine ladies and gentlemen all these names You're seeing on the screen right now.
