[News] Compiz and Compiz-Fusion a Digital Tipping Point for GNU/Linux

Compiz is Cool – and Why That Matters

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most vexed questions within the open source world is when, if 
| ever, GNU/Linux will take off on the desktop. Strangely, this isn't really 
| about capabilities: as someone who has Ubuntu running on both of his main 
| systems, I can attest to the fact that GNU/Linux is not just usable, it's a 
| downright pleasure to use. In fact, I constantly marvel at how transparent 
| open source has become: most of the time I'm simply not aware that I'm using 
| it – it just works.      
| 
| This raises the interesting question: so what's missing? What more does open 
| source need to do in order to capture the attention of the general user? I  
| think the answer can be found on this YouTube video.

Compiz is the Most Important Thing to Ever Happen to Linux.

,----[ Quote ]
| If the Linux community wants to wipe Windows and Mac out of the OS business 
| all they need to do in focus all of their collective efforts on developing 
| Compiz. With the combine intelligence of hundreds of thousands of nerds we 
| could develop the most pimped out windows management system known to mankind. 
| The kids don’t want stability, they want an OS w/ rims that spin.
