doing the same - but maybe with VirtualBox or VMWare images, because Windows users are probably more familiar with those - so they can try out Linux without the installation and then if they like the experience, they will be more motivated to learn how to install it on bare metal.)</p><p>Armbian 25.2 released with support for new boards, Linux kernel 6.12 LTS:<br><a

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Burn My Windows Adds Dreamy New ‘Focus’ Effect</p><p>It’s been a while since the gorgeous (if admittedly gimmicky) Burn My Windows GNOME Shell extension gained a new effect for over-the-top window closing and opening animation. But the latest release, Burn My Windows v44, delivers one. The new Focus effect is a relatively subtle one using a blur and fade effect on close, as you can see in this GIF, and on open too (you can choose to turn open animations off): There are options to control the animation time, the blur amount, and the blur quality. The lower the blur quality the faster the overall effect will be, :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/BurnMyWindows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BurnMyWindows</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/EyeCandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EyeCandy</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/GnomeExtensions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GnomeExtensions</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/11/burn-my-windows-adds-dreamy-new-focus-effect" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/11/burn-m</span><span class="invisible">y-windows-adds-dreamy-new-focus-effect</span></a></p>
