  • Looks good, but still not as good as windows 7, purely because of the fact that there isn't many games or programs that will run on the os...

  • @oBLACKIECHANoo with games u are right, its no OS for gaming. But what do u mean with programms? Ubuntu now exists 7 years and u think there arent many progamms for it ?

    u can have gimp on it, google earth, thunderbird, firefox, opera, miro internet tv, all the java stuff like jdownloader, hear and manage ur music, watch ur vids, ur dropbox file sharing, and programming in any language.

    Its free and runs everywhere smooth!

    for me as a student its perfect. (Search "Ubuntu Black Ice")

  • @ChuckTheGreatNorris There isn't support for it from most developers, it may have it's own things to do those things but usually 3rd party software is better.

  • lol my mom is goin to by us an abunta this week im so excited,

  • Linux Stickers Here

    google -> redbubble rob brown stickers

  • Do a Beryl roll!

  • Download link please?

  • @dragonworld029 got to

    ubuntu.com and have a look ;)

  • I use W7 only for gaming, i use ubuntu for everything else. I cant afford a mac so i cant say whether its good or bad on the limited useage iv had on it.

  • is UBUNTU can installed in pentium 4

  • @dragonworld029

    ofc it can

  • @dragonworld029 I'm currently in Ubuntu with Pentium 4, 1GB RAM, nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB, and I have all these effects, probably more.

  • @dragonworld029 Linux can be installed on anything

  • the only thing i dont like about ubuntu is that its not compatible with many games at all.

  • is this allowed in xp....can i used this with xp?

  • @dragonworld029 this is for Ubuntu, a different OS, you can get it for free.

  • pleae where i can buy O. System ubuntu 7.04?? please :(

  • @Rajtis U better be trolling..

    Ubuntu is free. I don't know if you'll get older versions of it so easily though.

  • how do you get beryl effects? please answer

  • one of my favorite videos of all time :)

  • If only there was an ability to play games on ubuntu! then It would rock!

  • @nwiley619

    i hope to see more games too, but many games are working better now, check the ubuntugamer blog , they got a nice amount of featured games

  • @asdf36254 So the average Adam has got to run CCleaner once in a while, sure. I agree about that. But I have been running it since Beta without a problem, and little change in performance. Though Ubuntu 10.04 is much simpler to use then before, Windows is still simpler. I'm just arguing that Microsoft no longer makes "Bad products," I'm not saying it beats Linux. You'd be hard pressed to do that.

  • WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I HAVE A WNDOWS 7 AND I INSTALL UBUNTU WILL IT FORMAT EVERYTHING IN MY DRIVE PLS REPLY BACK

  • @jahid231

    Use WUBI (Google it and you will understand)

  • @jahid231 the safe and easy way to do it is just to download virtualbox or anyother virtual machine....and then install linux on to that. that way u can open it up from w/e host operating system u have. good thing about the vm's is that u can set it so u dont give it a specific amount of hard drive either. u could set it so that it expands by usage. so if ur full then u want to save more things it wil expand for u to fit it.

  • I do love ubuntu and it's eye candy that compiz brings but i find that many of it's functions are not practical. For example, I find that scaling and expo is more useful than beryl. Beryl seems to be just for aesthetic reasons.

  • What are the specs of your system?

    Installing now thru Wubi, can't install on the partition i have created myself :(

  • Nice! Going to install it now!

  • i use Ubuntu 10.04 and it IS REALLY THE BEST OS i have ever used....

    Use it too!

  • Ok, now I see thet Ubuntu is the best.. bt I am shure it has to have something that we may not like it... any expreienced person please tell me ?

  • I use Linux Mint 8. It closely resembles Windows XP... Good Video.

  • I think thats going to be the long term problem with third party os's - device support - that what keeps me from even trying to set up something like this - no way to know whats gonna work and what wont. All video cards? Sound cards? Webcams? Printer drivers? While the interface is er um wavy and flashy - i dont see how this increases usability at all - win 7 is clean and fast (not like xp or vista) and my devices work. Is Ubuntu going to work? that question keeps me from even trying.

  • @StraightShooter01 same here, i like the idea of linux and bsd and the free opensourceness of it all, but what i don't like is that there are no really good applications for me to use. i can't just replace Final Cut Studio with something inadequate for my needs. I like win 7, but vista sucked. still to this day i use XP a lot.

  • all you have to do is use a program like wubi that will make a duel boot partition so you can try it for yourself and make your own first hand assumption

  • "Win 7 is clean and fast. . ." Ubuntu is extremely clean in terms of how much space it uses on the hard drive for the actual operating system. Comparisons on the same systems with Win 7 and Ubuntu show that Ubuntu starts, shuts down, and loads many programs faster. Whatever program you need can generally be substituted with a free open source program. Hardware like the iphone even work on Ubuntu. I would bet that soon Linux will be up to date on many of the missing drivers.

  • @kingmedabe This is true, but there is currently no good sequencer in Linux. At least not with the features I use every day in Cubase. As a professional composer I really don't have a choice but to use a Windows7 or a Mac machine.

  • @StraightShooter01 Well so far every piece of hardware has worked for me (sound cards, videos cards, printers, iphones, etc). When I first used linux, i found it a pain in the ass to get anything to work, and it took me a while to figure out that i need more than just video card drivers to get 3d applications to work. But once you figure the system out, its actually a very nice system. I have not used a windows system in a long time now. And wine seems to work just fine on all my windows games.

  • I shoudl commit that beryl is good. But, I still love my own gtk..^^, because I got it screwde when combining

  • I have a Question, I just had a mini laptop with the Ubuntu on it, when I start it up I cant even see my desktop, and i cant find a wireless network.

    Wtf should I do

  • the effects, are pretty---(to say the very least), and they have also increased my productivity in College, I'm able to have Open office open, fire fox, and music jukebox..

    Can flip around ctrl-alt + down to do it extremely fast....

    Or act like an asshole in the dorm room and use the globe change, and gloat about my computer :D

  • Fuck the rest linus is the best :) respect to all fans of other os s :)

  • Wow, the comments here are exceptionally pathetic.

  • my windows xp media center edition 2002 does not allow me to install anything but xp versions?

  • no.

  • ? no what

  • You were saying that xp mce does not allow to install anything but xp versions.

  • thats why is does not allow me to install windows 7,vista, linux or ubunto allays says error in a blue screen

  • @Haakerek: and what is with mac ox x ^^ that`s better than all ^^ and vista is great work with it and you are be amazing of that (sorry for my english i come from germany

  • please tell me that youre a troll

  • wtf man vista= anything BUT games ..

    windows xp is good enough and if ppl just want vista cuz it looks so nice and all the applications and stff it has man get rocket dock and google deskbar for windows xp and a windows 7 theme for windows xp and you have your look a like windows 7/vista

  • You sir, are a retard.

  • The beryl and compiz team have fused their code and are now one, named compiz fusion.

    Beryl is a litte outdated

  • bullshit. compiz fusion is now fused with compiz to create 1 compiz fusion.

  • what?

    The team of linux is a lie invented by mac??

  • lol

  • long live linux

  • Oh, and Fedora 8 has Compiz built in and with additional packages added via the rpm tool. It was really easy to get the fireball effect when windows closed and stuff.

    Check my older linux posts diary to see my Compiz effects under Fedora 8.

  • Why do you want special window effects? What purpose do they serve?

    I am not trolling - just highly curious of the previous posters stating that it is 'better than Windows'.

    Now that XP support has been extended to 2011 - I am quite happy not to install Linux. And, if I had a choice, I would install Fedora - not Ubuntu - on my lappy.

    I am also running a server with OpenBSD 4.5 (see my vids where I send mail from it) so it is not like I am against UNIX/Linux

  • sad ubuntu cant do extreme gaming...yes i know it does with wine but cant go further....wow very laggy in that

  • There aren't many games for Linux. Of course they work best on Windows when they are made for Windows. So a game must be made for Linux to work best on Linux and using a Linux emulator would be laggy.

  • counterstrike runs faster in wine + ubuntu on my desktop than it did under windows. registry is waaaay better.

  • :( eh counter strike with ubuntu 9.04 and wine was laggy on my pc :( but i get 60 fps in winxp i have 120 fps

  • to be fair, i did turn off the window manager and any unnecessary processes and reniced counterstrike

    i did the same in windows (to the extent that i could) but it still doesn't run this well. maybe it's just the hardware that i have

  • i play css on my ubuntu and i get 120-135 fps on my xp i get 45-68 with same specs on both pcs.

  • Wow, i dont know how that is possible tho, My Vista FPS is much higher than ubuntu, but then, who can blame then when the game must run througt Wine...

    I consider it like this, Vista = Games

    ubuntu(linux) = everything else

  • although it is recommended that linux not be used for games IT CAN be used for them if you have the right specs :)

  • every game, that runs on windows, does also run on linux!

  • prove it

  • What game would u like me to prove u with?

  • prove it

  • Name a Game

  • C'mon. I'm waiting.... name a game and i show u that it run's on linux.

  • that is a fact!!!

  • What is a fact?

  • sorry, but...how i can install this OS? can someone tell me...

    thanks

  • You can download free copy of it from original site and burn it on cd(it must be bootable cd) or just order free cd's from ubuntu site. Installing is very easy, you boot ubuntu up from live cd and on desktop there is an icon where you can start step by step install, everyone who can read should get it done.

  • Man, Ubuntu Beryl beats vista definitely in eye candy!

  • it's compiz fusion now, fyi, but I agree

  • @ZchampGT45 rofl yeah.. in eyecandy. i fail to see anything else that puts it in front of windows vista.

  • fuck to windows

  • Hey, everyone. Starting from Monday, I'll be putting up videos showing you how to do this stuff, and more. So subscribe to me to keep yourselves notified.

  • OMFG THIS is so brilliant! How can it be so well designed, so easy to use, so brilliant!?? And be free? Im obviously comparing this to Windows Vista, Ubuntu is just.. brilliant!

  • This video is showcasing Beryl's abilities. The linux distro (Ubuntu) doesn't really have anything to do with it.

    I will say that Ubuntu as a whole is a great distribution (especially if you are new to linux)

  • If Linux could play games as good as Windows does, I'd totally stick to it. I'd even pay for it! Don't tell me about Wine or Cedega. They give me extremely low fps, compared to Windows :(

  • Guys to get this, search 3D Desktops on the internet, you can get cubes, pyramids, and google earth as your desktop...

    Check it out :}

  • is beryl free to i could use it lol mines kinda lame without it

  • hey dude i got the unbunt 7.4 how can i get this efftc for it

  • hey dude i got the unbunt 7.4 how can i get this efftc for it

  • does anyone know where i can get the animated wallpaper with the fallen leaves?? pls help me

  • Well, that's unfortunate

  • Comment removed

  • how do u get beryl on ubunto and how do u use it

  • Freaking awesome. I wish I installed this on my PS3 (I hear you can) instead of Yellow Dog.

  • It wouldn't work.  IF it loaded, it would run way too slowly.

  • is it still possible to have those little thumbnail previews when you hover over a window tab, or was that a beryl function that did not make it over to compiz?

  • This would be better with sound

  • can someone tell me why big software companys are not writting for linux?, why don't they start making linux versions of their software and sellling it as they would windows? as soon as this happens im moving to linux, please tell me someone as I have spent 2 hours googling and cant find out, reply to this comment!. thanks in advanced.

  • Its quite simple in its ways.

    Linux does not hold that much off the desktop marked compared to Windows. Linux does however own the server marked for the note.

    And for some reason closed software from big companies also tend to be the ones holding back from transition to 64bit also.

    But meh, if you made a program for Linux then ported it i guess it would be asyer to port to Windows then the other way around.

    People in the top refuses ideas in its ways, and how many has Microsoft bribed anyway

  • I know, right? I use Ubuntu 8.10 (Interbred Ibex) and I would love to see this. Problem is, Linux is only 3.8% of computers, and most Linux users don't like to by software, they like it open-source.

  • ok. i just installed ubuntu and now none of my usb drives work. i tested out my external drives and my usb wireless thingy. please help.

  • cool

  • can i play games on this

    i would like to try it but on every game case says that it's supported only for xp or vista

    for an example on gta IV says xp sp3 or vista sp1 ???????

    please send me answer

  • download wine, which alows the playing of games on linux.

  • where do i Download Beryl ?? i m downloading Ultimate Ubuntu n i have Windows XP ?? Wat should i do plz help ??

  • i use vista and it is the shit!!know i want linux as fast as possible!microsoft .........bad products........

  • @tsew75 Not anymore. Windows 7 has really flipped things around.

  • @pascbjumper2 ok,Do you thing win7 is better than linux? I read good things too about it;

  • @tsew75 Hard question. I like how simple Windows 7 works, and how well it works with the rest of the products I have from Microsoft. However, Linux can do far more, is still a bit lighter, and much more customizable. I have no complaints against either, but I would recommend having a copy of Windows on any PC, whether accompanied with Linux or not.

  • @pascbjumper2 thanks for answering;i will thinking about this.

  • i'm watching this right now off a virtualbox pc with ubuntu 8.10. It's awesome,but it's a shame VirtualBox doesnt have GPU support.I wish I could see those neat effects by myself! Btw very good vid!

  • That looks useful. Instead of launching the app I need, I can play with my desktop instead.

  • XD nice. ^_^

  • great job dude

    all thubs up..including feet:)

  • Looks awesome! If Linux was made for gaming, I'd use it... I have to stick to Windows, then. Looks just great!

  • If you wanna try some Linux, try LTS (longtime support). E.g Ubuntu 8.04. I got it few monts ago -it's great. And i use Compiz 3D effects on it.

    Linux is best!

  • where do you download beryl?.

    Please Someone Answer.

    Thanks

  • Beryl is just for Linux systems ,, that clip run Ubuntu with beryl if u have ubuntu system u can install it from command line type: Sudo apt-get install compiz-core desktop-effects , that's it

  • OK thanks

  • You probably get this all the time, but where did you download your mods? In particular I'm interested in the leafy one, sparkle window close and wobbly maximise :) I have Beryl(compiz) installed and Emerald theme manager. Helpy help! :D

  • 不错 真的不错

  • Nice, i got myself too ubuntu and i like it

  • i have installed it...but i dont know how 2 make it start...can some1 tell me how to do this?! thksssssssss

  • Is that standard or modyfied? (send reply in message if possible please)

  • hey , just wondering , my PC with XP just died on me and i reinstalled XP but it did not help anything.

    would it be ok if i install Ubuntu OS on it and would it fix the problem??

    im running a 256mb Ram and i think it is 1.6 Ghz processor or more( ino old skool but im going to upgrade soon )

    Thanks alot

  • I've tested Ubuntu on a computer with those stats. Ubuntu would work fine on that, but probably not with the graphical settings you see here ;) What's the problem with your machine?

  • oh thnx for replying, i already done and it worked 99% perfect, only problem was that my usb modem (i have wifi) doesnt work and i cnt find a driver for ububtu for it,,,so i cnt go on internet and i then installed XP which works as new...shame...

    thnx anyway

  • did you try looking on ubuntu help? Whenever I have a problem with ubuntu, I just google it. It's NEVER failed :D

  • HA , i looked everywhere and i mean everywhere for lke 4 days straight. and some clues ive found but no luck so yea.

  • hey man could you help me how to do this? please and thank you plzz reply

  • hey... it's great ! what do you have in your pc, RAM, memory... and so on...? sorry by my english !

  • what i wanna know is if i can get that wallpaper for vista and where i can get it if anyone knows can you shoot me an email

  • wow, that's a new one..."can you SHOOT me an email"...nice

  • "i wan get me a one of dose"

    cool !!!

  • it´s nice to see something different to windows, is this o.s better than xp? i´d like to install it.

  • You might have already installed it by now but anything linux is infinitively better than xp. You sacrifice the ability to play heavy hitter games like COD 4 or crysis but thats about it.

  • no actually you can just add a program called wine.... research it. its pretty awesome

  • Of coure Linux is beter than XP. XP is filled with viruses,spyware,malware and worms. Linux has viruses but they are easier to handle since its a single user root.

  • brilliant visuals, i have an imac and love the way it all works, i also like linux mandriva

  • HOW DO U GET THE WINDOWS TO MOVE LIKE THAT

    thanks nice vid

  • Easy unistall windows and install this.

  • is there any way to have both, windows vista and ubuntu installed in one pc?

  • Yes, it's called a dual boot. When you go to install a new OS from a CD you have the option to partition the hard drive. If you make a new partition and install the OS there, each time you start your computer you can select either OS.

  • ok, thanks!! :)

  • If you wan't to run ubuntu on a windows based PC , try searching Wubi ... it's a Ubuntu installer for windows 8D.

    you simply install it and restart the PC :)

  • you can install Ubuntu INSIDE windows as a program, and it will allow you to dual-boot without partitioning, thats what I did I just need to figure out how to use it lol

  • The only problem then is you remove some of the benefits of running Linux.

  • are you saying after installing beryl ubuntu desktop you lose benefits of running linux?

  • "are you saying after installing beryl ubuntu desktop you lose benefits of running linux?"

    No, I meant using Wubi to install Ubuntu onto Windows removes many benefits of running Linux as would running it in a virtual machine.

    It was a reply to darkwoodmovies's comment:

    "you can install Ubuntu INSIDE windows as a program, and it will allow you to dual-boot without partitioning, thats what I did I just need to figure out how to use it lol"

  • Im running vista atm but i have a virtual pc and im downloading this

  • KDE or Gnome*???

    U send this config???

    xD

  • this looks like it's been made for kids ftw

  • Oh and duh... my Toshiba (which I'm on right now) is running Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) with Compiz Fusion.

  • To answer kubruk's question: Ubuntu is a "Distro" or distribution of Linux based on Debian. I have two PCs right now; a Sony Vaio laptop with a dual core centrino running at aroung 4 Ghz, with two gbs of RAM running Windows Vista. I also have an older Toshiba Satellite with a 1.4 Ghz single processor, 512 Megs of RAM. At Idle, my Toshiba uses less processor power AND boots faster than the Sony!

  • google how to speed up vista. follow the steps, and ur computer will fly with vista. my acer laptop was the same way, (except i dont have a 4 ghz, i have 1.47 Ghz dual core, u bastard lolz) also, try using the no gui boot for vista. really helped my boot up time.

  • not bad

    prefer os-x tho'

    at least that has pro apps and runs on decent reliable hardware

  • ok im a 13 yr old kinda dumb cn some1 plz tell me wat it is is it a theme or duz it actualy change the sorta operating sytem u hav

    coz i hav winows xp n if i download ubuntu will i be able 2 change back 2 xp if anything happens if anybody has an answer email my youtube account

  • what the heck is unbutu? is this a sort of operating system...

  • this is a version of the linux operating system.

  • Wooooooosh!!!! I really like what i see!!!

    I think I will install this on my new pc instead of OpenSuSE (or maybe i will install both)

  • lol i have ubuntu but my internet is fucked up.. so i cant download it

    im gonna get it its so cool

  • That's good... is there any liveCd for this?¿ or i need to install Ubuntu and THEN replace Gnome with Beryl?¿ Can you link me to a good site with tutorials about how to do it¿?

    I have a spare PC i would love to boot with this, it's a P4, 512 Ram... do you think i can run this smoothly?¿

  • use wubi installer easiest way to do it

  • You can't replace GNOME with Beryl...

    You can replace Metacity with Beryl.
