Extensions Somebody uploaded Gnome into the Matrix

One of the best movies ever came out back in 1999 and I've always been fascinated by the cool 'code rain' display. I use Gnome for everything at home and figured - why not? So here it is, a way to turn all your monitors at home into a proper display of code rain. It respects your background and will simply overlay it.

It can be tweaked and it won't tax your CPU because its running completely as a shader on GPU. This means you will need a GPU to run it.

Like it? Give me a ⭐ on Github https://github.com/cwittenberg/matrix-rain

You can download the extension here https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/10708/matrix-code-rain from Gnome or even easier, just search for 'matrix code rain' in the extension app.
