Using the 3D browser would be akin to saying "That's Linux" upong seeing a Compiz cube a few years ago. I mean, yes, it would be technically correct, but not a defining term for deeply knowing Linux and its intrinsics.

It's not weird or wrong in any way though. Plenty of people were running compiz for a while, and a kid into Linux would recognize it.
