Compiz Fusion - Unmatched 3D Environment in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Think Aqua interface in Mac OSX and 3D Flip in Windows Vista was the best
| looking Operating system? Ever thought that the 3D effects on hacker’s
| desktop shown in movies are not for real? No need to think again, just read
| on because the freedom and flexibility Compiz Fusion provides is beyond
| imagination.
|
| Compiz fusion is the result of a merge between the well-known Beryl composite
| window manager and Compiz Extras, a community set of improvements to the
| Compiz composite window manager. You don’t even need a high performance
| hardware for this, it will work fine with 256MB RAM and a decent processor.

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.

| 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.
