openSUSE 10.3 with Compiz Fusion

January 15th, 2008 by Mike | Posted in Linux |

There have been a few times I’ve ventured into the worlds of Compiz and Beryl… All I can say is, installing this stuff on KDE has never really been easy.

Just recently, however, I installed openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 on my desktop, and was pleased to see that Compiz Fusion (the new name for the result of merging of Beryl into Compiz) is now a 1-click installation. All I can say this far, is that it’s the simplest composite desktop installation I’ve ever done and it’s completely fantastic.

Anyone who has seen the desktop is blown away by how spectacular it looks while still being completely usable. The plug in choices are vast, I’ll just post a few screen shots to show you what you may, or may not, be missing.

One of the many ways you can do application switching.
