kozukumi Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Just switched to Linux today. Xubuntu 15.10 to be exact. Currently in the process of moving all my data from OneDrive to Dropbox hence the Outlook and OneDrive tabs in Firefox Also I am using Compton for my compositor rather than the Xfwm4 built-in one as I find Compton performs better. Overall I am loving things. All works so good! Depicus, simplezz and simonlang 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Also I am using Compton for my compositor rather than the Xfwm4 built-in one as I find Compton performs better. this is the first time i hear of compton. is it some compiz-spin-off? does it support lots of effects like wobbly-windows?

It probably can support the compiz stuff but I personally hate that crap. It does some nice fade in and out of windows but the biggest benefit is the stunning video quality you get. It uses glx for the backend with opengl-swc vsync and paint-on-overlay so everything is perfectly synced to the refresh rate of the monitor. it looks stunning.

I will have alook at that but it could just be with it being in development that they have mucked up versions in your terminal can you do kde-open -v and let me know what it gives you?

kozukumi Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 KDE looks nice but it is also the DE that I have the most problems with. It just seems a bit too busy and buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
