    I legitimately credit Compiz and CCSM for kick-starting my obsession with FOSS and probably doubling or more my salary by getting me on Linux earlier in life.

      I’m pretty sure I still have a decade old liveusb somewhere with a casper-rw Zorin install, all decked out with compiz desktop switcher animations and Tuxkart 🤣

      I’d boot up that thing on school computers and mess around with Linux for fun back in the day

      Same! I started messing with Linux in my teens, but it wasn’t until the early 30s that I actually got a job working with Linux, but once I did it fast tracked me to a much higher salary.
