What a beautiful 3D desktop

My flatmate Thomas know more than me about this video, it's some kind of Linux implementation. Should be available for free somewhere on Internet.

but you don't know how to spell "know"

Calm down; I wasn't insulting you or anything. My only point that I'm trying to make is that Compiz and Compiz-Fusion (which you see here in this video) can be run on any linux operating system. I totally understand you thinking that it would be Ubuntu, because many videos of Ubuntu on YouTube use Compiz and Compiz fusion, and therefore an inexperienced linux user might assume that any other operating system using Compiz and Compiz-Fusion must be Ubuntu.

the jelly is interesting but gets annoying really quick.. lag when you move is highly unfriendly :)

It looks like debian and all that stuff because it uses the GNOME desktop. I think ALL distros can do that if you install a package.

Cheezey is correct. Compiz-fusion is available on all linux systems, even if you need to download the source code and compile it yourself. if you don't believe us look up "fedora compiz" or "gentoo compiz". Same effects. Granted, ubuntu has spiked in popularity over the last few years, and it is common practice to add compiz to it, so it may seem like Ubuntu itself is the source of the effects.

[CheezeyWeezey]

GrPaoOle, first you must be running linux, and then you could either use your package manager to download Compiz and Compiz-fusion, or if that doesn't work, download the source from the Compiz and Compiz-Fusion sites and install them from source.

This technical jargon doesn't change that all Ubuntu desktop videos I've seen have this effect, plus people who use Ubuntu that I know. Now I know this quad-desktop setup with lots of effects is called Beryl or something. But saying it has nothing to do what you SEE if you search Ubuntu on YouTube, your wrong about that. People demonstrates the desktop thingy all the time and without much knowledge about other OSes that would naturally be my first impression.

[CheezeyWeezey]

InSaneTK, the "jelly windows" effect has nothing to do with the Ubuntu project; it is part of the compiz window manager which works on any linux distribution.
