Posted by timothy on from the requires-a-wallet-downgrade dept.

Interested in a 3D desktop? zoso submitted news about about a project called Metisse, writing "There is working and freely available alternative to the (soon to be released under GPL) Sun Looking Glass 3D desktop ( Slashdot story here) If you have spare CPU/GPU cycles just go download and compile the first publicly available version of this X Desktop. Everything looks nice (screenshots here), has OpenGL support, transparency and all other whistles...."

  1. My 2c rant karma be darned to place with less heat by Bill,+Shooter+of+Bul · · Score: 0, Troll

    Its not asthetically pleaseing. Its freaken' ugly! I'll be the first to say it. THE EMPORER HAS NO CLOTHES! While I'm at it, I freakin hate aqua too! Not only are newer desktops requiring more and more cpu cycles, they are becoming uglier and decreasing productivity! To me the hallmark of gui design was be. But I suppose if they were still around in their original constitition, they would be just as amped about a 3d desktop or eye candy. damn hippies! If Sun wants their linux distro in corprerations in mass quanitty they had better rethink looking glass. Corperations just aren't that stupid.
