I'm sorry. I gotta weigh in here. WTF are you trying at, cuz it seems you have further proved how useless Linux is. All that zazz, and the only game displayed is a card game.You take an inferior tower, and fill it with flashy shit that essentially only serves to bog your performance. But you don't care that it does, cuz looking flashy is all linux is good for. Windows sucks balls, but at least when I turn off all the cosmetic crap, I STILL don't have to resort to command lines. FAIL!!!1!
I'm using Linux, and it's not the effects that make it good (aside from wobbly windows). Linux is only better than Windows when it comes to power users. They need to focus more on usability than looks.
I just installed Ubuntu for the first time in my laptop because I was getting so fed up with windows- I really like it, its great! I love all the features and it seems easy to figure out and use. I am not someone who is technologically savy. The only downside so far is I cant use Netflix!
Who cares if Linux can't run games? That is why you dual (or triple) boot. I never have fewer than 2 OSs on any of my computers.
Most people who know something about the inner working of computers use Linux. That should tell you something. And unlike what everyone seems to think, you don't actually need to know anything about computers to use Linux. Try it out some time.
Linux truely is awesome :3 Imagine, a specific computer, specific hardware, and a custom-built linux designed exactly for that hardware. Performance: Flawless.
linux all the way!! It is possible to play games on linux but i choose not to cause thats what my ps3 is for. And for all you windows fans, you need a VERY good computer to play any worthy games. If you don't have a decent processor or graphic card you're not playing any good games anyway. Furthermore think of all the extra software you need to buy with windows/mac like Photoshop for example, GIMP is the same thing but free. Why not save the $300 + for Photoshop and get a gaming console.

@muratonder65 i'm sorry but if your talking about playing game with wine emulator on linux of course it suck and if you want some game to run good on it you have to pay for Cedaga a monthly fee so its not free if you want to play a 3d game on linux (and by the way even with cedaga its still sucks big time) Gimp is free but can't compare it with photoshop there not in the same league. As for PS3 it does the job when your pc hardware suck but i still prefer pc even if it cost me more !
i want to get lenux on my laptop because my laptop runs a little sluggish on vista sometimes which lenux version should i install my computer specs amd 64 athlonx2 1GB ram 137 GB hardrive oh yeah and can i use uttorent on lenux and can i play windows games
Linux is awesome for other reasons. This is like adding a huge exhaust and neons to a toyota supra and saying thats why it is awesome ignoring the fact you have a 2JZ under the hood. I have ubuntu on 2 of my machines. I have it looking pretty basic. No cubes or fire. I have scale enabled (expose on a mac) and have a dock. thats it.

... Win intentionally hides the inner workings of the system, or gives access to them through complex and unnecessary geeky wording, so that the user won't get to know what actually happens on the machine.
Many Win users are even afraid of partitioning. And many of them do not even know what a partition is!
@GiorgioDeRa oh, u want to talk to some macintosh owners...
my opinion on macs "macs are peices of shit, painted white that are sold to morons for exesively high prices with the overall processing power of a grapefruit.
1. people who do not know about Linux get sold computers with M$ software preinstalled
2. Windows is made so that the user will not get that bit of knowledge which would allow him to install another OS on the hard disk.
For example, Vista often breaks up when resized to make room for a different partition, so that one will think that Linux is buggy, while actually it is Win.
@poojkhgf ... perhaps even just the extra demand from non "contributing" users would mean that more companies produce linux versions of their commercial software.
Linux is awesome but not just for compiz ... (compiz is just graphical toy :P ) ... free system :) ... and really powerful (but i'm new user and i must learn a lot ;) sorry for english. Peace@Ubuntu
Compiz, fun for about 1.5 minutes then jsut damned annoying. If you think Linux is cool then explain why instead of showing us what we already know that idiots can make windows do funny effects. Do you even understand why Linux is superior to M$ 'doze?
What are you going to do when M$ start doing this stuff in three versions time (like they have in the past...want to know what is coming up in the next version of Windows, just look at Linux 3 versions back).
How many printers are unsupported or only partially supported by Linux? How many cameras? graphics tablets? What about my flash drive internet connection will that work? How many video cards run in legacy mode, without acceleration?
How many times does Nvidea have to inject a binary blob (closed source driver) directly into the "completely open source Linux kernel" before Linux finally gets it to work?
And you think some visual fluff makes Linux great? What of reliability, compatibility?
Linux is a broken piece of crap made by communists. To anyone who says its good, one question: Have you ever tried using it? Because I have, and it's crap. I've also tried communism and obamunism, and that's crap too. Actually I heard Obama himself uses linux, since it the name Ubuntu reminds him of Africa, the country he's from.
Another retard on the web. APPEARANCE IS THE LEAST I CARE OF! I want to know what OS is a good OS that does not crash, runs all my hardware, is compatible with all my programs etc. And you absalutly should me FUCKOLL about that. All you done is show me that every youtuber that runs linux and types something like "Linux is awsome" only cares about themes.
Yay, eyecandy! Now if only those developers could fix my constant youtube crashes that somehow manage to bring down the whole system! Windows & OS X FTW!
@Valendian2009 gedit, compiz, firefox, open office, chromium, nautilus, baobab, gimp, geyes, pitvi, screenruler, synaptic, gnome-calculator, gnome-desktop, evince, totem, rhythm box, filezilla, samba, seamonkey, Brasero, cheese, gnusound, openshot, ink scape, GNU paint, Pondus, Tomboy notes, avidemux, gecko mediaplayer, xvidenc, oggvideotools, and that is a tiny fraction of a percent of all the apps that linux has
@supergenius1994 gnome-calculator? That desperate to fill out your list were you? I stand by my words, as for your words you should have stopped at open office and firefox. Try using an OS written by professionals then make comparisons.
I will be impressed if you can show me a working printer on a linux computer, don't get me wrong there is cool extras, but there are a lot of simple things that are almost impossible to do without a CS degree
This is NOT why Linux is awesome. Wobbly fucking windows, resource intensive eye candy, and added convolutedness does not improve an operating system, nor does it make it awesome.
I agree with you totally. Eye candy is for kids who just want to impress their friends. BUT the point is in my opinion is the flexibility, stability and the control one has over Linux operating system is truly amazing!! It just doesn't crash. Ya have to face it... Windows has been known for owning the "alt+clt+del" keys on the keyboard. Windows is a piece of crap OS with band-aids for support, Mac is extremely over priced and Ubuntu(linux) is an excellent alternative. :-)
I run linux ubuntu as my main system and i dont use a server!! you ppl that believe linux is just for servers need to wake up!! i can do everything Mac can and PC!! so suck this!! and this video is decient, second our eye candy doesnt bog down a computer because its native openGL which windows has trouble with !! so thats why windows cant handle this and bogs down, and mac well it just blows!!
@FilledCircle Thank you, that's more or less what I was going to say.
Show the people what it can DO. Microsoft and apple can make their os's nice pretty and full of visual effects, but that isn't why I use linux over either of those.
I'm tempted to post a response video of me configuring my ubuntu server.. no gui, let alone pretty effects :D
@ShadowEater120880 that is so true... most of the videos based on linux being awesome are usually based on the compiz, which is not what the os is really about
@ShadowEater120880 True, Ubuntu is trying to be more like Windows and Mac - because it, like Mint and Debian, are aiming to become a desktop for the average user, not a server system.
@Enverescape I wouldn't say that. I'd say it is just trying to make more convenience for users. Back in 2000 there was a lot of manual configuration, this is slowly being phased out.
@ShadowEater120880 I must intervene slightly. Speed, light weight, opensource, and ease of use might make some linux distributions good. However, some of the eye candy and the $0 price tag make it "awesome".
@ShadowEater120880 he is showing one of the many awsome things about linux. i am still finding awsome things on linux evry day after using it for 1 year.
@LoliComplicated: I hope you realize that compiz uses opengl, hence "this bullshit" will be rendered by the GPU and not the CPU. Perhaps you should know that when fooling around with your useflags (SCNR). I reckon, that masturbating to compiler warnings does not make you understand how the software or hardware in question works.
Linux is awesome because it's so fast and functional and secure. There are virtually no viruses so you would be a retard if you installed anti-virus on linux and it has cool effects and it can also game, it can play linux and windows games and Mac I think if you download a Mac emulator.
that's it?, you aren't going to talk about how it has the majority of drivers?, or the fact that it is free and open source?, or that it has a software center to easily get programs from?, if you all you really want is a better appearance, then just try to get a plug in for the ms windows windows manager!
I'm thought of uninstalling my Windows 7 home premium and only using Ubuntu, BUT then I realised that you cannot play much games on ubuntu, so I'm still keeping Windows in dual-boot mode.
and we got a other linux troll on the web @w0Rm219 windows don`t suck kid. Learn to use a windows before posting shity post. Windows is not for every one.
@badbradmx Because my system harddrive can't handle more than one OS. Besides, do you know how much a new drive costs?! I can't afford that without a job!
@darkpokemon0426 how small is your hard drive that you cant dual boot? and yeah i do happen to know how much they cost you just gotta look on ebay, normally some good deals them
@darkpokemon0426 hahaha ubuntu take up all of about 3GB, you have plenty, im dual booting a 6.5GB drive with 2 linux distros, music and that stored on an external, if you want me to guide you through it pm me
Ya, and for me Linux is awesome because it uses a monolithic kernel so you don't have scattered little pieces of OS slowly confusing each-other. And of course you can put it on a serious file system, with meta-data, user permissions and file-system level encryption.
Linux is awesome when you have a good PC, when you pc suck like my pc ... for example i use Ubuntu 9.10 Dektop Edition and it's to low, with an Lubuntu-Desktop
Who cares why or how linux works it looks perdy and as long as i got some nice hardware i could care less that it eats away at my 'up to date liquid cooling cpu' and if i can 3d model on it it counts to lol im kinda getting tired of looking at' WINDOWS' all dam day its the same start button and tool bar in every version AND i hate the brushed metal look of Mac i want this BADLY because it has more customization
Compiz fusion does not make linux awesome, linux already is awesome without it, I use linux for WORK. I used to like compiz cause the cube was good for switching desktops, but I'd rather click the squares on the panel if I need a virtual desktop.
it would be awesome it it was faster and less resource-consuming than windows, which is obviously not the case with all those special effect. hence, it sux.
@worstcase1076 He added those extra features onto the linux distro.
Some people really enjoy the shiny crap hence where Vista and Window 7 fit in but some people like me just prefer speed and getting things done.
Why should I have to have a $4,000 computer just to do my work running Vista or Windows 7 when I can just get a $1,000 computer and put xubuntu on it and have it run EXACTLY the same if not faster.
I am not trying to bash microsoft windows but some people have different needs.
@autonomous2010 I have experience with WinXP and Kubuntu, and can tell that 'out of the box' Kubuntu is much slower. I had to do lot of manual tune-up (including switching from KDE to LXDE and disabling lot of services) to achieve XP's performance.
@worstcase1076 Never tried Kubuntu because I don't like KDE and its clunky in my view.
I prefer Xubuntu and it runs a little faster then XP even did on my machine. It certainly runs faster then the day I took XP off of the machine. hahaha
ubuntu is one the best os you can do so much things like changing youre desktop environment to a whole knew one you make it look like mac you can make it look like windows 7 or xp or vista.and onther good thing about ubuntu is that its open source u can get so much usfull free applications
So your linux is great because of the hardware???? or is it the neat desktop themes??? You are just scratching the surface if that is all you do with it and want to compete with other people. Linux is open source buddy. Have you ever tried compiling your own version of ubuntu??? It is BLAZINGLY fast if you do. Its a rule of thumb that if you know what you are doing and navigate through the user defined sections commenting out stuff you dont need that you can get a much faster OS.
And what can I do with wobbly windows? On Windows or Mac I have useful software like Cubase, Ableton live, MS Office, Citavi and so on. There is nothing like this with same quality for linux.
@MeisterDesDesasters Ardour, rosegarden, lmms, GIMP, InkScape, OpenOffice etc. I agree with you on the wobbly windows though, just a waste of resources IMO.
can sumone plzz help me im having problems with the ps3 i dont have default settings i have the slim ps3 version 3.15 can sumone plz help me out ill pay if sumone wanna come over n do it for me its gettin me mad i tryed burning the dvd-r but it does not load when i put it in the ps3 plzzzzz sumone plz help me out thank you ....
Hell no, full compiz works even the first acer aspire one. But i acreeed at this isn`t the reason why linux is awesome, its only reason along the another reasons.
I dont think wasting a window manager on Compiz is the way to go. Openbox, Fluxbox, Ion3, AwesomeWM, Wmii are all much better much more efficient and light weight. Compiz doesnt even manage your windows it just animates them its stupid.
Compiz is unnessecery. I don't use it, I could not benefit from it. You can only run ONE window manager at a time and Compiz is a window manager. You can use xcompmgr ot transset but thats all.
@LoliComplicated Freedom is everything. With freedom comes anything you can think of. Not everyone wants productivity, the guys that liked 'eye candy' and so on made Compiz together. You can choose compiz if you desire eye candy. Not a waste if it's what you wanted, right?
After all, imagine if you _didn't_ have the choice to pick eye candy. That would be stupid.
@sea4ever7241 People are still replying to my comment? xD Id rather not have the choice of eye candy because with that choice comes a bogged down computer and the illusion of "cool" and distraction. It doesn't teach you anything and it just becomes "windows" when you throw all this junk on top of it. Ubuntu is just trying to be Mac, or Windows. It's missing the unix state of mind, which is simplicity and light-weight. THAT is why *nix is used for servers. Not this.
@LoliComplicated The goal is not just to be simple and light-weight, the goal is to have something for everyone. We'll never reach 'the year of the linux desktop' unless the goal includes things like this.
@LoliComplicated You say having the choice is missing the *nix state of mine? The Linux world revolves around choice, if you take that way then you truly are Windows or even more appropriately OSX.
Keep in mind there are users that are not like us that don't want to learn about computers and just want something that does what they want and does it well. I honestly believe useless but flashy features will (sadly) be a huge part of what gets Linux noticed and adopted in the consumer market...
so are you saying that linux is for servers and crappy computers? kind of an oxymoron dont you think? well my PC reuns great with windows and isnt "bogged down". I dual boot ubuntu but only use to edit video :/
@LoliComplicated uhm, Linux is used for servers more than windows are... and Ubuntu (what the video is showing) is a replacement for windows not mac... its just Gnome that makes it look like mac.
@LoliComplicated speaking of trying to be like mac i've found that nobody's more obsessed with being like that than windows users, just search up how to improve your desktop, a majority of them are on windows, and a majority of that majority recommend using rocket deck, hiding your taskbar, and using the default mac background.
@thedoomreaperco Ew. Rocketdock. Ew, Docks. Ew, methods of accessing files via Desktop. Openbox or a panel is all you need. Don't sully your pretty wallpaper.
@LoliComplicated i don't consider my wallpaper pretty, and i do have i have it but it's just for ease of access purposes, and as soon as i can dual boot linux on my laptop it's going by the wayside
@thedoomreaperco easier to just hit f12 type in the name of the program you want to open and hit enter in my opinion. Never take your hand off the keyboard.
@LoliComplicated Oh no, Ubuntu has it right, it's a pretty damn good OS.....it's just stupid shit heads that jerk off to compiz that make it look bad.
This is true. Ubuntu does have its good parts, which is why I use it, but I'd rather use my Gentoo system, since its 9 million times better in indescribeable ways. Ubuntu is too tied to gnome which is a shitty program/environment and Compiz which just elongates your dick but doesnt really help with anything at all.
@LoliComplicated Some people like flash and sparkle in their operating system instead of speed and productivity.
I prefer speed and productivity and as long as the operating system works then thats good enough for me.
I use linux because its stable, I can do a LOT of work on it in a short amount of time, It has never crashed on me, and it is fast even on the slower computers.
Sure I could use windows but I don't have the time nor the patience for all the viruses.
Im using linux because linux follow my orders ( ;

Linux is a broken piece of crap made by communists. To anyone who says its good, one question: Have you ever tried using it? Because I have, and it's crap. I've also tried communism and obamunism, and that's crap too. Actually I heard Obama himself uses linux, since it the name Ubuntu reminds him of Africa, the country he's from.

This is NOT why Linux is awesome. Wobbly fucking windows, resource intensive eye candy, and added convolutedness does not improve an operating system, nor does it make it awesome.

@CabbageNappa
I agree with you totally. Eye candy is for kids who just want to impress their friends. BUT the point is in my opinion is the flexibility, stability and the control one has over Linux operating system is truly amazing!! It just doesn't crash. Ya have to face it... Windows has been known for owning the "alt+clt+del" keys on the keyboard. Windows is a piece of crap OS with band-aids for support, Mac is extremely over priced and Ubuntu(linux) is an excellent alternative. :-)

@LoliComplicated: I hope you realize that compiz uses opengl, hence "this bullshit" will be rendered by the GPU and not the CPU. Perhaps you should know that when fooling around with your useflags (SCNR). I reckon, that masturbating to compiler warnings does not make you understand how the software or hardware in question works.

supergenius1994 1 year ago
@supergenius1994 Check your menu then preferences then Compiz settings.
You have to enable the plugins manually and assign keys to the effects. Then you can do these effects.
I would just play with delays and bind keys for it for now.
The cube effect required me to at least 3 to 4 spaces and bind that with a keyboard shortcuts.
jimmy101112000 1 year ago
@supergenius1994 You might need to install compiz in your version of linux.
If you want it the easy way.. Linux Mint has it already installed you just have to enable the effects or plugins and bind keys.
In Ubuntu or whatever your using you have might to install Compiz and its extras.

So your linux is great because of the hardware???? or is it the neat desktop themes??? You are just scratching the surface if that is all you do with it and want to compete with other people. Linux is open source buddy. Have you ever tried compiling your own version of ubuntu??? It is BLAZINGLY fast if you do. Its a rule of thumb that if you know what you are doing and navigate through the user defined sections commenting out stuff you dont need that you can get a much faster OS.

It's missing the unix state of mind, which is simplicity and light-weight. THAT is why *nix is used for servers. Not this.

@LoliComplicated You say having the choice is missing the *nix state of mine? The Linux world revolves around choice, if you take that way then you truly are Windows or even more appropriately OSX.
Keep in mind there are users that are not like us that don't want to learn about computers and just want something that does what they want and does it well. I honestly believe useless but flashy features will (sadly) be a huge part of what gets Linux noticed and adopted in the consumer market...
