Must-see Linux Desktop Capabilities for Noobs

Post by JDW »

Hey all,

I found a little video on YouTube showing the Ubuntu Linux Desktop. A must-see for anyone who has never seen Linux in action before.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Advanced 3D Desktop

Enjoy!

P.S: Awesome music track! Right?

Before you start drooling, be aware that compiz and other compositing window managers do not play well with OpenGL on certain graphics cards, especially the low-end flavors.

I second that, I know that problem by experience.

Anyway, you can disable the manager for using the app.
