I'm old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.
Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.
Conpiz fusion!.. I've created so many problems for myself trying to run it on ATI at the time.
Totally worth it :D
I switched from Windows to Linux last year, after switching from Linux to Windows back in 2007 or so. I was happy to find that not only is the wobbly window effect still available, it's available out-of-the-box on KDE without installing any other software. It has the cube effect and magic lamp effect when minimizing/unminimizing windows too.
It's also interesting that AMD went from having the worst Linux graphics driver (fglrx) to the best one. I have some graphical issues with my work PC and laptop (with Nvidia GPUs) that I don't have with my personal laptop (with AMD GPU).
It's because AMD went open source with it
Nvidia have an open-source driver now too, but only for 20 series cards and newer, so I can't use it with my 1080. I'm using it at work though - I have a 3080 in my work desktop PC and a 3050Ti in my work laptop. We'll see if that improves the drivers significantly.
The way they open-sourced it is by moving a lot of stuff that used to be in the driver into the closed-source firmware. AMD does the same thing though.
