It’s probably a combination of this and technical difficulties stemming from there being seemingly 20.000 Desktop Environments/Window Managers

Have you never heard of compiz? The Linux 3D window manager with burning windows.

Used OS or how much you see the desktop doesn’t matter. This is customization that feels good.

That’s so interesting to me, because as someone thinking about switching over to Linux after playing around with it a bit, one of my main motivations is the ability to customize the desktop like crazy. Personally I like the minimal modern look, but I like that you can make it anything you want.

True that. I pretty much only see my desktop on a fresh boot.

I honestly see my wallpaper for about 0.01% of my screentime. Having a process hogging CPU to animate something I don’t see if quite useless to me.
