Ubuntu 8.10 - Intrepid Ibex - Visual Effects - High Quality

*Note* previous upload was weird so I uploaded again.

This is Ubuntu 8.10 running compiz-fusion and cairo-dock. The graphical glitches and lagging only appear in the video, I do not experience them when using the computer.

When the high definition version becomes available I recommend watching that one, since you can't really see that much in the lower quality version.

Edit: Just want to point out that I know there's not really anything new here, I originally made this video to simply show people that Ubuntu can look really nice *without* the effects being too intrusive.
A lot of people like their OS to function well and look good at the same time. That applies to me.

It's hard to say, should be possible. A lot depends on your video card. You can try going to the ubuntu forums and seeing if someone has posted something about your specifik video card.

it is awesome but whats the point if you cant do gaming? O.o

[staralfur85]

You can do other stuff with computers than play games you know.

But anyway, a lot of people actually do play games on Ubuntu, there are whole forums dedicated to just that. It's more trouble but it's very much possible.

I just dual-boot if I want to game. It's not really hard to keep a win installation and a few gigs seperate from the ubuntu installation.

Maybe a tad closed minded Vames, Ill admit Ubuntu/ Linux can seem annoying and fiddly at times.. especially if you come with a windows mindset, but its hard to overlook some great features it brings to the table too ;)

Personally I use both.

Fuck, now I want to get Ubuntu back. I dual boted it on my old comp but it SEVERELY reduced performance, making gaming almost impossible on Windows. Now that I has a supercomputer I don't want to screw it up like my old comp.
