Getting Jaded with Compiz

Thu, 10/25/2007 - 15:22

I just came from a short trip together with my son and wife. I’m feeling a little tired today, so I decided to just play with the spanking Compiz Fusion. I found out that Compiz has really matured a lot since its earlier adaptation in OpenSuse 10.0. I can still remember spending countless hours editing Xorg.conf, installing the proper driver in CLI, and even reinstalling the entire OS just to get it working. I must admit that the desktop effects of Compiz Fusion are more stunning and easier to activate now than ever before, but I still prefer the old and difficult version of Compiz because of the fulfilment it gave after a successful installation and configuration. Now don't get me wrong, maybe I’m just jaded right now with all the desktop eye-candies. But to those who can still appreciate the cool desktop effects like most Windows Vista users maybe, nobody does it better than a capable Linux OS and Compiz Fusion.

Here are some screenshots of Compiz Fusion in action on my new Ubuntu 7.10 desktop:
