@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can someone explain to me why having a cube to rotate is better than the classic desktop switching views? 🤔
It isn’t better or more efficient. Some people think it’s cool. I don’t you don’t. Some think it’s cool and that’s ok.

@unlucio @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well its one of those classic features people wanted back. Probably because its fun and visually appealling
For me it made it easier to visualise which desktop had which thing on, so I knew the front face of the cube was my main desktop and my email was on the face to the right.

@unlucio @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Well, it’s a “in the eye of the beholder” situation. Neither is better, it’s just what each person prefers. I quite like the cube, mainly because of the way in which I can perform 4-or-more-way desktop checking.
Apple did something like that, I guess in the first version of fast user switching for OSX.
On the bottom of the page containing the cool rotation animation, they wrote "Because we can.’

Personally, I’m happy if something works great, and is also visually pleasant, but I’d never
