Four Practical And Useful Compiz Fusion Plugins
,----[ Quote ]
| Just about everyone has seen or used some cool eyecandy Compiz Fusion
| plugins, but there are also quite a number of useful non-eyecandy plugins for
| Compiz Fusion. Today, I will look at four of the most interesting ones that
| are included in Ubuntu. If you are an Ubuntu user, you will need to install
| the advanced settings manager for Compiz Fusion.

Compiz-Fusion MPX Support is Complete!
,----[ Qujote ]
| I have now completed the first draft of the patches to add MPX support to
| Compiz-Fusion. These are only the first draft patches, so there are still
| tons of bugs to be fixed. After I fix those bugs, I’ll begin work on the
| Input Redirection patches for the rest of Compiz-Fusion.

Compiz Support For Multi-Pointer X
,----[ Quote ]
| In May we shared that Multi-Pointer X (or MPX for short) was entering the
| mainline X server. While it was merged to master that month, X Server 1.5 was
| already branched out and therefore it won't appear in X.Org 7.4, but it will
| appear in X Server 1.6 (X.Org 7.5) until next year.

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.

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.
