Two Normies (non-tech folks "what is Linux?") standing next to my desk at the office "HIS LOCKSCREEN IS INSANE I've NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT"
Me "its just blurred when locked..."
normies "NO I MEAN WHEN YOU TYPE YOUR PASSWORD WTF IS THAT"
Me "???"
Normies "THAT THING THAT REACTS AND SPINS"
Me "??? what are you talking about? 😅"
I type my password to unlock the system. Swaylock does swaylock things.
Normies "O M G THAT IS SO COOL!!!"
LMAO of all the things on linux, default animation setting of swaylock on manjaro-sway, seems to be what blows normie-folks minds 😂

@realestninja@social.linux.pizza my superior at work, senior software engineer (uses Omarchy), had a similar reaction to default `swaylock`.

@realestninja@social.linux.pizza If this is what ticks them, point them to /r/unixporn and you'll have a quiet and peaceful week ahead of you. Folks really have *NO* idea how good* unix-based personal desktops have become. * And at the same time visually appealing, obviously.
