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 ๐คฃ
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.
