Comment on Apple sues YouTuber who leaked iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” software redesign

  I don’t love apple or anything but I got tired of the flat ‘revolution’ that was forced on everybody for no good reasson. This looks like something interesting, harking back to when UIs were interesting like older windows tried. Or older macs that were glass like, at least on their maximise, minimise and close buttons.

  A lot of UIs are boring nowadays, I dunno I want something more interesting, I only have one apple product that was given to me, so it isn’t like I’m a fan or anything, I’d welcome any interesting change no matter the OS, company or development team, I remember even when linux has those really interesting effects for X like cubes changing between virtual desktops etc, those were fun.

  So no, it isn’t because “it’s apple” at least not for me, and as someone else pointed out, most apple users will actually hate it. I just love change and innovation no matter where it comes from.

    I happen to agree on most or your points.

    By the way, you can still get the fancy desktop effects by installing Compiz. Probably only supports X but I haven’t really looked into it. Must’ve been 2009 or 10 when I used it lol

      Wayfire is apparently the replacement for wayland.

    The cube feature and a bunch of wobbly window stuff are currently in Plasma 6
