Fun With xwinwrap in Compiz Fusion
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve been occasionally looking for something in Linux that would spruce up
| the place. Right now, my desktop is an minimalistic and functional solid
| black background. I’d like to do more with the space. Not just put up an
| image as a background - that’s straight from the late 80s.

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.
