Phoronix: A Crazy Qt-Based 3D Wayland "Maze" Compositor

Sure, it doesn't mean that it is easier to work with them.
Interesting concept.

@Michael

Are you already at Nuremberg?
If so, any news about the progress of the GPU Book?
The X.Org page has not yet been updated, ofc.
Pretty please keep us updated on this.
It's something I'm really looking forward to.
Maybe you can join them for the scheduled beer session, later this afternoon.

Haha! I had that awful spinning cube desktop switcher animation in compiz for a week before I finally admitted to myself it was making my life worse...

I never expected to see something like this in my lifetime :') My life is now complete. Thank you!
