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

For those interested in Wayland, Qt, and 3D, there's an interesting new Wayland compositor out in the wild. This compositor renders a 3D maze using Qt and brings in some Wolfenstein 3D elements while allowing Wayland surfaces to be rendered on the walls...

Freakin' awesome!
Because of this 3D world of windows, it feels more spacious, you can see what's happening on more windows than on traditional representations.
Sure, it doesn't mean that it is easier to work with them.
Interesting concept.

OT: Progress of GPU BookSprint

@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...

Best desktop environment ever created by mankind!

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