im really in love with this debian blackbird distro that I setup betty the terminal assistant and netdata on but it would be great to get the cube effect going without messing up my current system.

Thankyou for your assistance.

Create 4, or at least 2 virtual desktop in one row.  
Assign a shortcut for switching virtual desktops left and right or use a plasmoid.

By default you can use CTRL+F8 to trigger the cube and use your mouse to switch desktops.
