Hope these effects seem nostalgic to some of you! I remember being amazed by the 3D Cube back in my high school years around 2010! These were the kinds of effects we nerds used to show off to each other to prove we were the coolest nerd :P

It was the eyes for me 😅

[@winelectronic101]

​@@vicr123 I remember that. Those eyes were useless but hilarious.

compiz and beryl 😂

[@CloudDragonProductions]

Every time they upload a video, mom, my cat, and I watch the new video on the big TV. I find it funny that I converted my mother into an OSFirstTimer fan too. I love your videos, Phillip and Diana, you're inspiring!!!

[@OsFirstTimer]

Haha, glad to hear even the cat enjoys these videos. That's Meowvelous!

[@CloudDragonProductions]

@OsFirstTimer Yeah, my cat loves to chase the cursor on the video!

[@Everything.Windows]

HAHAHAHA. Diana does seems quite amused by the effects. Edit : My favourite effects are both glitch and the disintegration thingy (reminds me as an Infinity War reference)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Nice, yeah, I love those too :)

[@macinjosh2223]

Ah this takes me back to the good ol' days of compiz and your videos on arch linux adventures trying to figure out wobbly windows!

[@winelectronic101]

And the windows eventually disappearing as a result of turning the friction too far up.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Haha, I totally forgot about this until you reminded me :P

[@RoverMation]

How many more years until Diana gets fully converted to Linux lol

[@winelectronic101]

Sadly as great as Linux is there are certain things that just mandate the use of Windows, even if you have Wine set up.

[@elijahtorres2688]

Real ones know she had Elementary OS YEARS ago via dual boot on her old Toshiba laptop 😅.

[@OsFirstTimer]

@@elijahtorres2688 Wow, even Diana forgot that and the fact she ever owned a Toshiba laptop. Good Memory!

[@Vixoity]

used to watch ur videos back like 9 years ago nice to see your still posting!

[@OsFirstTimer]

Nice to have you watching our channel again. Wow, 9 years ago, back before the 2017 era of OSFirstTimer (a very famous one). Be sure to check out our recent uploads, we've done plenty this year alone :)

[@BigBrosFilms]

6:08 - She's still so hilarious lol

[@RoverMation]

Hoping Ben makes an appearance in a video soon!

[@Bl0xxy]

No way! OSFirstTimer is definitely back and I'm all for it! I get so nostalgic from these videos :D

[@Tigran-k8q]

Thanks for doing this video! I appreciate you guys. You always manage to brighten up my day =)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Aww thanks! I'm glad we somehow make stuff funny and bring joy to others :)

[@Radkeyboard7984]

The fact that all of this started from mum tries out windows 8.1 is realy amazing

[@pip5528]

Man, I haven't watched you guys in years! I didn't even know you were still active! I still have fond memories of the mCoLE video from back in the day.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Yeah, we are still chugging along with videos, there have been a few gaps in uploads but at the moment we are uploading a video every 3 days while only occasionally missing the schedule due to sickness etc. I'm glad you found us again :)

[@jacetaneneko_vt]

Diana: the most laid back person ever Aldo Diana: "why burn the windows why not burn the whole house down"

[@OsFirstTimer]

I'll think twice before inviting her to my house again :P

[@simonschneegans]

Hey there! I am the developer of both of these extensions and I had great fun watching this video! Thanks a lot! For configuring when to apply which effect, you have to modify the profiles in the headerbar of the preferences dialog. You almost clicked the right button in the end :P

[@OsFirstTimer]

Oh wow, didn't expect to see you here! Thanks for watching! I knew that feature must have been somewhere in the program :P

[@postal2forthe3ds]

thank you for posting once again osft this is great background noise while i draw edit: y'all started talking about the anti cubism thing right when i began drawing my head guideline cube HAHA

[@SmilerRyanYT]

Burn my windows is cool, but agreed the option to have a seperate open/close animation is needed.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Yeah, I'm suprised the developers didn't add it.

[@SmilerRyanYT]

I know, on windows I use WindowBlinds and that has random and seperate options. (edit: oops wrong video)

[@simonschneegans]

Hi! I'm the developer of both extensions: The option is there: Just click the little pen button in the headerbar :)

[@Ferit-Kenan]

I like TV ,the cold fire, TV Glitch and Paintbrush 🖌

[@OsFirstTimer]

I love how Diana called the "cold fire" the "fridge" effect :D

[@TimTim40484]

That's one thing I really love in Ubuntu because I would look for so many extensions such as having the drives be displayed on top in a menu, the clipboard being there also, having the windows be slightly transparent when dragging them etc.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Yea, slightly transparent windows when dragging sounds like a nice feature with a bit of potential use. I'm just suprised by how many extensions there are in gnome :)

[@AyaWetts]

Did you call Energize a magic effect...? its Star Trek transporters, because they say Energize to give the command to transport.

[@j4eni]

Soon, Philip himself can call the channel OSDailyTimer if he keeps up the stream of videos :D

[@OsFirstTimer]

OSBiWeeklyTimer at the moment with a video every 3 days :)

[@j4eni]

@ even better ^^

[@icegep]

BOSDT! :D also idk why but the cube reminds me a lot of vista

[@itsjackson1156]

mum tries out windows bootlegs when?

[@winelectronic101]

I've actually suggested that multiple times before, particularly capitalizing on Windows XP Gold 2016.

[@OsFirstTimer]

@@winelectronic101 Definitely considering it at some point in the future :)

[@pancakse]

Never heard of this before gotta install it

[@benjaminlajolobessa5953]

Is this monitor a television?

[@Cart1416]

I like my wobbly windows on kde plasma, remember them from zorin os?

[@winelectronic101]

Oh yeah, but that was a Compiz feature. Pretty sure it's gone now?

[@SmilerRyanYT]

Yeah compiz was the thing, doesen't seem to be as common anymore though.

[@Damglador]

Hell yeah, THE CUBE

[@HHHisntavalabe]

You should have Diana try Linux From Scratch. Forget the basics, it's time for a REAL CHALLENGE!!!!

[@LeeZhiWei8219]

Oh my wow, is this compiz? Haha.... I should install this on my Arch Linux install on XFCE.

[@LeeZhiWei8219]

Matrix and the classic Fire haha.... Those are my favourite.

[@winelectronic101]

Woah, looks like we got Linux stuff going on in Windows. Also, the RVC covers are finished. I demonstrated in various voices because quality varies between input vocals and output model. You can find a playlist with all of them for easy access. Edit: Oops, wrong OS. I swear Windows had a feature for the desktop cube thing that had a similar name. I know there's a similar program for Windows with Burn My Windows called WindowFX by Stardock, which actually does give users control of individual animations (not just for opening and closing, but also minimizing, maximizing, and minimizing). I'd recommend Windows 7 for that though as last time I checked WindowFX is no longer supported officially under Win11 and has problems. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. My favorite glitch? Probably paintbrush.

[@OsFirstTimer]

I had a look at some of your RVC covers, the ones with the spongebob charactors were the most familiar to me :)

[@WindowsXPDominikFijakEdition]

Can I do a requests of Operating Systems, softwares, themes and other things?

[@Ferit-Kenan]

Please Try this Operating System you never heard of it Pardus 23 or Linux Mint Cinnamon 22 or even both.

[@SqueakySqueak]

Me who installed Ubuntu yesterday and make it like a mac: Also wow!

[@KyleBrianMorillo]

This is so sweet
