I just bought me a new laptop (HP envy) and installed Fedora 23 dual boot with Win 8.1. Everything works great, but there are a couple of things about the KDE installation that cause me a bit of a disappointment.
1) There's no desktop cube animation option. Is that a design/deployment decision, or is it an installation problem? Obviously, losing a bit of eye-candy is not the end of the world, but I'm a bit dissapointed.
The other is an Activity thing that I'll ask about in a second post, so as not to mix topics.
Thanks for any information -- a Google search didn't supply anything.

There is. You have to enable Desktop Cube Animation in Desktop effects.

No, that's what's so surprising. Under System Settings > Desktop Behavior
Desktop Effects > Virtual Desktop > Switching Animation
there are only
Fade Desktop and Slide
as options.

Some more information. I noticed that on the compositor settings I can only use "XRender". Every time I try to change it to something else, it moves back. If I set KWIN_COMPOSITE to Q for Wayland (F 23 uses Wayland, right?), then I'm allowed to choose OpenGL as the renderer, and it doesn't go away. Then... Desktop Cube Animation option appears -- but just doesn't work. If I set KWIN_COMPOSITE to O, it refuses to accept OpenGL.
I get this error message in messages:

I can use, theoretically, any compositor. But other than Xrender turns my laptop in a snail. I have some effects selected but none of them works. Mine is an Intel Atom netbook, just in case it's useful to know it.
Cheers, Sylvia
