@gamingonlinux it's still possible today, though. I have once written a little tutorial how to set it up (in German) https://gnulinux.ch/gnome-flashback

@gamingonlinux Ubuntu 10.04 was peak comfy. I miss those days.

@gamingonlinux
Ah, the memories. 10.04 was my first distro ever.

@gamingonlinux wobbly windows \o/

@gamingonlinux definitely made before I started using Linux

@gamingonlinux I remember that.

@gamingonlinux Man, that brings back memories. I think I was introduced to Ubuntu at school around 2006.

@gamingonlinux I still use double panels, bottom for open windows and virtual workspaces, top for menus, launchers, and tray

@gamingonlinux the memories 🥹

@gamingonlinux
I love glassy and glossy GUIs. Windows 8's ugly UI was what compelled me to switch to Linux

@gamingonlinux Looks like Ubuntu 8.10-9.10?

Definitely gives me the "first distro that I ran without it turning into flaming hell"-vibes

@gamingonlinux i miss old web/os ui. i know it wasn't great, but it had charm. these days everything is built with bootstrap and looks the same.
there was more personality back then

@gamingonlinux This desktop welcomed me into the Linux world (coming from Windows Vista) and it was such great I fell in love with it. Nowadays I use XFCE and don't enjoy modern GNOME anymore but this one still holds a big place in my heart!

@gamingonlinux I still dig the aesthetic

@gamingonlinux
My "first" was dapper drake. Installed it on an aopen xc cube I put together myself.

@gamingonlinux except for the whole "you had to write the tablet conf file yourself" deal, I kind of agree with this. Fortunately there's Cinnamon 😁
