Top Five Reasons to Love Compiz Fusion in Linux
So, you’ve just switched to Linux, probably to the Ubuntu distribution, due to its popularity. Some of the reasons you switched to Ubuntu were pre-installed software, security, or because it works better on older computers than Vista. Come on, don’t lie - the main reason you switched is because you wanted all the effects from Compiz Fusion you saw on Youtube. I will show you the top 5 Compiz Fusion effects that are either just for fun, or will increase your productivity. Before I start, I would like to note that any reference to the Super Key is what Linux/UNIX calls the Start key with the Windows logo on it.
1. Desktop Wall - This happens to be one of my favorite Compiz Fusion effects, as it still provides a smooth transition from one desktop to the next, but it doesn’t require as much graphics power as the desktop cube does (especially with all its effects).
2. Expo - Another one of my favorite desktop tools from Compiz Fusion would be the Expo plugin. This plugin will show all of your desktops on one entire wall, and one of my favorite features of this plugin would be the ability to move windows between the desktops while viewing it.
