Wobbly windows are the best, I use them everywhere, this (on medium setting) gives a somehow natural feel to moving the windows around. I always feel strange wherever wobbly windows don't work.

You can make fun of wobbly windows and desktop cube all you want, but without me seeing videos of that in middle school and deciding "I need that in my life," I would've never gotten into Linux, may never have really gotten into programming beyond dabbling, and my career might look very different today.

Man does that bring back a lot of memories... Found myself first thinking that something was the most awesome thing since sliced bread and then coming to realize that there's such a thing as too much graphical mucking about in a UI you're supposed to use for productive work after trying to actually use it.

sudo apt install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins
And opening ccsm and ticking "Wobbly windows".
To be honest, at first my session crashed but on second try it works flawlessly.

Knoppix has both a 32-bit and 64-bit kernels and will choose the appropriate one at boot time. However, other than the 64-bit kernel everything else is still 32-bit. Thats fine for most apps however if you want to build 64-bit executables then you are out of luck. I liked Knoppix for a bit to be able to test optimization on different computers (e.g. Core2 and Hawsell) but more or less gave up without 64-bit builds. You only get 8 SIMD registers in 32-bit instead of 16 for XMM and YMM and 32 for ZMM in 64-bit mode.
