Compiz-fusion vs. Beryl?

[dkarlmt]

I've been hearing the buzz about the compiz-fusion, but is it worth installing over Beryl standalone?

Also, how do I install compiz-fusion and get it up and running?

Re: Compiz-fusion vs. Beryl?

I think beryl runs a bit better than compiz-fusion at the moment. Compiz-Fusion is still in alpha stage so use at your own risk,but thats what makes it fun. You should be able to get all these if your running Feisty with backport or restricted enabled(Not sure on this). Why not try both and decide for yourself

For me its Compiz-Fusion

What is
From CompositeManager
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager

When running AIGLX or Xgl, all windows are rendered to an off-screen buffer. The composite manager is then responsible for drawing the windows to the screen, and has the opportunity to manipulate them, adding in cool effects such as transparency and wobbliness.

There are currently two composite managers available.

• CompositeManager/Compiz - A combination window manager and composite manager from Novell.
• CompositeManager/Beryl - A fork of Compiz that adds some additional features. It is generally much less stable than Compiz.
• CompositeManager/CompizFusion - Compiz plus addons from Beryl.

Both are good. Beryl has the advantage that it's a bit better NOW, but Compiz has the advantage that it is the 3D desktop to be developed in the future, Beryl is dead.
