It would be nice if these were available as regular screensavers too, interfacing with Compiz to work, so that they can work alongside the "normal" screensaver system in Gnome. Or is this what they do?
i cant get it to install on my system, im running ubuntu 10.04, is there a sudo apt-get line that i can use in terminal to get this cause the sites that i have seen where using git and creating folders is just not working on my system, following the step by step instructions and it wont do it. thanks
I totally know what you mean. I've tried converting my mom, my grandpa, lots of people...but even when it is said to them that they can use the Live CD before they install it, they're still afraid of it!...It's they're loss, I guess. Someday they'll need it.
Plus, yeah, the cube IS very useful for privacy...in a really awesome way! :D
Compiz looks great, but ultimately, it's useless. I mean, really, how often would you use a rotating cube instead of a simple & fast keyboard shortcut?
but...but...it's perdy! And it's useful if you are browsing the interwebs and don't want anyone seeing what you're doing and someone walks over your shoulder.
Well, a matter of taste I guess. I like my fedora clean and fast, and prefer keyboard shortcuts to mouse control.
I also have vista on my computer at work, and it sucks. Windows XP is a decent OS, but vista simply sucks. I turned off aero and themes in order to get it to work half as fast as my Fedora would, even though the PC on which vista is running is much better.
I totally agree with you. There's a free alternative to almost everything, and those alternatives are better. People are just blind and don't see them.
Linux allows you to run the latest cutting edge software, where you need to use old windows versions because the newer ones are too slow.. That's the main reason I use Linux.
dude...does this screensavers plugins conflicts with ubuntu intrepid distro.....???? i've compiled this plugins and it works....but it wont run..help !!!
Since it runs on top of Xorg, the linux interface, it won't work on windows (xorg doesn't work on windows perfectly if it even works, and doesn't have the stuff compiz needs). So, only works on linux for now. Sorry.
yeh i figured that. I was just wondering if there was another version out there for windows. As its a pretty cool idea. Perhaps a more useful version of this idea could be implemented as an interface design in the future. But for now as a screensaver its pretty fantastic.
@RenegadeMaster07 Long time coming, but you can run Windows in a VM if you need some stuff for Windows so bad. Or, you can use Windows as the primary OS and run Linux over it in a VM. Then, make an SSH connection between your VM and WIndows and you can both enjoy Windows and Compiz Fusion in Linux.
Games made specifically for Windows can only run on Linux using WINE (WINE is like an emulator.) Not all games work with WINE.
There are also a large number of games made specifically for Linux. All games by ID Software have Linux versions. UT2004 has a Linux version, and UT3 for Linux will be released in 2008.
Graphics card drivers are trickier. Nvidia and ATI both make Linux drivers, but they don't always work right away. People on forums will help you set them up, though.
linux itself runs games better than windows...we can compare quake4-3-2 ut-2002-2003-2004 etc etc.
However since it's diferent OS games need to be compiled for linux and there's no inteligent people in games industry it seems, and they fail to see the potential of linux customers...
lymecat, download or request CDs of Ubuntu Linux from the Ubuntu website (do a search).
The free cds take a few weeks to ship, but you're getting an entire operating system - which you can use inplace of Windows (or have a dual boot, so you choose which operating system you want to go into when you turn your PC on)
sifriheavy, why don't you seriously take the time to learn Linux and at least be able to appreciate why people love it so much. I recommend Ubuntu for the beginning Linux user. Oh and you should take a training course in hardware before you speak about it.
I MASTER ubuntu, mandriva (powerpack edition), suse and free bsd, in them, I used kde, gnome, fluxbox, enlightenment, with compiz fusion running in the aixgl mode, and still I prefer mac os x, linux is a waste of time.
The main problem with pc is windows, and i don't use windows at all. Everything i would want from mac i can run on linux, and it's fuckin free!!! If you are into graphic design or video editing then buy a mac, it will be perfect for you. Other than that i have no need to waste my money and pay out the ass on a monopolized software company.
haha i used a mac for an entire fucking summer man, it's alright but i really wasn't that impressed. To each his own, you can pay for it if you want. Whatever mac does, linux can do...for free
LOL. Oh man you're making a fool of yourself, i use it for Media 100, Shake, Maya, Rhino3d, After Effects, photoshop, illustrator 24/7, i resort back to windows for 3ds max, vray and almost all rendering shit. And you're telling me im "JUST" using it for work? i prolly make more hours on those pieces of shit on a yearly base than you'll ever do. Stop being a prejudiced fanboy and gains some damn perspective.
hahaha that doesn't help your case man. problem with your mac fanboy status makes that statement very biased. I'm still not willing to pay for any of those areas you might think of.
You mean impractical, and... how? You just learn how to use it. I'm not even a 3D modeler, and I learned how to make a little dude with bones in about ten minutes with it, then put a texture on his head for a face.
Impractical because almost no one in the industry works with it, that i would have to relearn a whole package just cause this ones opensource. Because i cant use most of the content created for 3ds max and maya users to improve their workflow. The list goes on :P i dont think blender is shit, for me its just not feasible to work with it ;)
You sort of have a point, but he's right about the 'Linux can do it for free' thing. I guess if you're using a Mac at work, then you wouldn't have much of a reason to use Linux, though the system administrator and company would because of the total cost of ownership and it would probably be easier to set up a roaming system. I know that the cost for the Windows licenses at my school is a ton of money (~$100 per machine bundled with other products, I think.)
Oh it was aimed at Sifriheavy, the fanboy :) I was just defending Linux and windows. Cause macs aint as awesome as people say they are for some people.
ubuntu is the shit people i had vista in my vaio and i have to do updates atleast once a week and the graphics on this thing are awsome and its freeee woot woot
It's no use trying to argue with mac-people. When one has invested so much money in a piece of machinery it'd take a paradigm-shift in computing before any normal person would admit to being wrong in handing out so much money for a computer.
Lambhorghini Diablos sure look nice, but they supposedly suck to drive steering-wise.
Lambhorghini Diablo sucks, thats true, I have a Macbook pro, I would spend the same ammount of money over and over again to buy a GREAT LAPTOP in the future.
guys guys, u know it, there is no comparison between mac os x and linux, GET THINGS DONE? yeah right, like no one has any problems with linux and hardware compatibility, I dont know what OS presents more incompatibility issues with hardware, if vista or any linux flavor.
Actually, if you were to take OS X and attempt to install it on a non-mac you'd run into a WHOLE lot more hardware problems. Apple codes for a few specific hardware configurations and that's it.
You can find this out if you try to run a Hackintosh. It's extremely difficult.
So linux is indeed ahead of the curve--you can install it on nearly any computer, new or old. Some distros don't work for this or that reasons, but overall, it will work.
(hardware problems are usually the vendor's fault).
No, linux is not ahead of the curve, cuz it was made to work in faulty PC hardware, are u only thinking about software? yeah, we know linux is free, but u get a better deal buying a macbook, the features kill any pc and os X with Bootcamp is just great, no hardware problem, I wouldnt want to use MAC OS X in anything other than mac.
a user should look for a stable Computer with no hardware problems, no matter what the cost is, MAC OS X and MACS deliver, linux and pcs, DONT.
What is faulty hardware? I built my own computer and it works fine. There's nothing wrong with my hardware.You can't build your own mac for $300 like I built my linux box and expect it to work.
And you can't compare "Linux" to "Mac". Linux is a bunch of software which will run on anything you want. "Mac" is a combination of hardware and software made specifically for that hardware and that hardware only.
i know everyone hates the guy that actualy knows wat hes talking about, but osx is based on unix. Stop arguing! Macs are better for artists and college students (and dare i say liberal tree huging hippies) and linux is better for serious, hardcore users that dont want sugar-coated unix.
"and linux is better for serious, hardcore users that dont want sugar-coated unix." Harcore is ok, but serious? I dont know, compiz fusion is just a waste of time, I consider it to be a SUGAR COAT just to make linux a lil bit appealing to people.
Can people at least name one thing, one program linux has that OSX doesnt?

you are so mature with your comment, u only know how to use macs for work....
sifriheavy 3 years ago
LOL. Oh man you're making a fool of yourself, i use it for Media 100, Shake, Maya, Rhino3d, After Effects, photoshop, illustrator 24/7, i resort back to windows for 3ds max, vray and almost all rendering shit. And you're telling me im "JUST" using it for work? i prolly make more hours on those pieces of shit on a yearly base than you'll ever do. Stop being a prejudiced fanboy and gains some damn perspective.

lol i dont see anything immature about his comments, he's just pointing out that you're an obvious mac fanboy. calm down man.
leusch13 3 years ago
yes, i think im a mac fanboy, just cuz mac os x really rock in a lot of areas linux dont.
sifriheavy 3 years ago
hahaha that doesn't help your case man. problem with your mac fanboy status makes that statement very biased. I'm still not willing to pay for any of those areas you might think of.

Ever tried Blender?
shadowdoor7 3 years ago
Yeah i have :) Its good, but unpractical for me.
infernoacid 3 years ago
You mean impractical, and... how? You just learn how to use it. I'm not even a 3D modeler, and I learned how to make a little dude with bones in about ten minutes with it, then put a texture on his head for a face.
shadowdoor7 3 years ago
Impractical because almost no one in the industry works with it, that i would have to relearn a whole package just cause this ones opensource. Because i cant use most of the content created for 3ds max and maya users to improve their workflow. The list goes on :P i dont think blender is shit, for me its just not feasible to work with it ;)

You sort of have a point, but he's right about the 'Linux can do it for free' thing. I guess if you're using a Mac at work, then you wouldn't have much of a reason to use Linux, though the system administrator and company would because of the total cost of ownership and it would probably be easier to set up a roaming system. I know that the cost for the Windows licenses at my school is a ton of money (~$100 per machine bundled with other products, I think.)

Oh it was aimed at Sifriheavy, the fanboy :) I was just defending Linux and windows. Cause macs aint as awesome as people say they are for some people.

It's no use trying to argue with mac-people. When one has invested so much money in a piece of machinery it'd take a paradigm-shift in computing before any normal person would admit to being wrong in handing out so much money for a computer.
Lambhorghini Diablos sure look nice, but they supposedly suck to drive steering-wise.

Lambhorghini Diablo sucks, thats true, I have a Macbook pro, I would spend the same ammount of money over and over again to buy a GREAT LAPTOP in the future.

I agree, the horsepower on a Macbook Pro really shines when you install Ubuntu on it. ;-)
ZarathustraDK 3 years ago
oh well, thats true xD
But still I prefer the software database of Leopard over Ubuntu ;)

guys guys, u know it, there is no comparison between mac os x and linux, GET THINGS DONE? yeah right, like no one has any problems with linux and hardware compatibility, I dont know what OS presents more incompatibility issues with hardware, if vista or any linux flavor.
sifriheavy 3 years ago
Actually, if you were to take OS X and attempt to install it on a non-mac you'd run into a WHOLE lot more hardware problems. Apple codes for a few specific hardware configurations and that's it.
You can find this out if you try to run a Hackintosh. It's extremely difficult.
So linux is indeed ahead of the curve--you can install it on nearly any computer, new or old. Some distros don't work for this or that reasons, but overall, it will work.
(hardware problems are usually the vendor's fault).
puttabutta 3 years ago
Yeah, however OS X is designed for only mac hardware solutions. which is why I don't like it.
But a point can be well made, if you buy from a linux vendor, you'll get a well working computer
roguetrick 3 years ago
No, linux is not ahead of the curve, cuz it was made to work in faulty PC hardware, are u only thinking about software? yeah, we know linux is free, but u get a better deal buying a macbook, the features kill any pc and os X with Bootcamp is just great, no hardware problem, I wouldnt want to use MAC OS X in anything other than mac.
a user should look for a stable Computer with no hardware problems, no matter what the cost is, MAC OS X and MACS deliver, linux and pcs, DONT.
sifriheavy 3 years ago
What is faulty hardware? I built my own computer and it works fine. There's nothing wrong with my hardware.You can't build your own mac for $300 like I built my linux box and expect it to work.
And you can't compare "Linux" to "Mac". Linux is a bunch of software which will run on anything you want. "Mac" is a combination of hardware and software made specifically for that hardware and that hardware only.
I think price matters. /end troll feed

i know everyone hates the guy that actualy knows wat hes talking about, but osx is based on unix. Stop arguing! Macs are better for artists and college students (and dare i say liberal tree huging hippies) and linux is better for serious, hardcore users that dont want sugar-coated unix.

"and linux is better for serious, hardcore users that dont want sugar-coated unix." Harcore is ok, but serious? I dont know, compiz fusion is just a waste of time, I consider it to be a SUGAR COAT just to make linux a lil bit appealing to people.
Can people at least name one thing, one program linux has that OSX doesnt?
sifriheavy 3 years ago
it's free...enough said. they are both unix based and linux is free.
