wrandn Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - i know, this is a bit late, but fyi beryl is a fork of compiz, both are active at the time

seanmtracey Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - linux is stupid.people thinks they are cool cause they have linux and just show to friends how they can move the window with that stupid spring effect.the computer is made for make life easier and not for using a terminal all day. stupid script kiddies.once linux will be good as windows or mac, where will you go? scripting on ms-dos? lolnoobs

Nov 18, 2008 - they may be proud of what there desktop looks like, but besides the looks how about the fact that your pretty much immune to virus'sthe only thing windows is "better" at is crashing, and video games, and even Linux has wine to play those games.and dont disregard the fact that Linux is 100% free 100% of the time. LEGALLY! oh, and learn English you retard.

skwerl23 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - most likely. appdb dot winehq dot org is where you can find compatibility lists.

Al3xDogg Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - thanks

skwerl23 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - no prob, good luck in your ventures

Al3xDogg Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - i dotn really used wine ...im getting ubuntu 7.10.

skwerl23 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - just fyi, if you want to play some of the games you adore on windows, you will have to use wine. its super easy. and almost acts exactly like windows.

Al3xDogg Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - the only game i play is xbox 360,ps3// and for pc warrock but i got bored of it...i ask that for a friend that does play games on windows.

fredc1970 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I cant believe I'm finally doing it. i got parts coming and decided to save the 100 bucks by not opting for windows this time. So here i go , diving into Linux full time now. wish me luck.

Nov 18, 2008 - Well guys I wanna say that compiz is cool but I don't wanna waste 30% CPU for it

chromerium Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - compiz uses less CPU than without, if you turn off the stupid effects and just use it for compositing.

cyborgtroy Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Heck yeah I'm posting this from Kubuntu 8.04 with ...I'm not sure what, I'm not experienced with Linux, but I think it's just KWM, but still, I HAVE MORE DESKTOPS THAN YOU VISTA!!!

bubbrubbwoowoo Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Only on youtube could a thread about a compiz demonstration devolve into an asinine windows vs linux argument.
