Windows Vista Aero vs Linux Ubuntu Beryl

Came across this video to check out how Beryl is, and it's just amazing! Blew me away. I am so gonna install Beryl when i'm done building my computer! And to think, Beryl came out first before Vista. You might notice a similarity with Macs in Beryl, but it's basically only in the QuickLaunch bar. Anywho, for those who are new to Linux or haven't seen Beryl in action, prepare to be blown away!

Seen a similar clip sometime back, some XGL or something and at that time I knew I am so not going to try Vista.

You guys just keep on motivating me to clean up my PC, back-up stuff, upgrade a bit and install Linux. XD I have the DVD with me. tongue.gif Just am too lazy.

Btw, this is really amazing, and this clip makes more sense and it's comparing and not just showcasing Beryl and the end was just awesome for an even more awesome comparision.

The only slight problem with Beryl is that it is still quite unstable and can occasionally cause freezes and crashes - about the only software on Linux I have seen do that on a regular basis tongue.gif Compiz is a more stable bet, and was the software Beryl originally forked off from. Both have very similar effects, Beryl just goes a little more over-the-top with them.

I quite like the effects that Beryl has over Windows Vista. Seems like its better but I"m not going to switch over to Linux until somebody sits next to me and show me how it really runs.

But I like windows Vista, its cool. Linux has to improve a lot to qualify as a desktop operating system

It has, a long time ago. wink.gif If you don't believe me or that video wink.gif, you may install it yourself. In fact, more people are starting to switch over to Linux because it is becoming more and more user-friendly. Truth is, my Linux OS is more customizable than Windows, especially since almost everything in it is open-source, so i can edit the code and make programs more to my liking.

I agree with you.

In fact I guess Microsoft will have to go through a long journey to get to be as good as Linux... tongue.gif
And I prefer Linux even over Macs!

Good to see such glowing praises for Ubuntu. I hear there are places online where u could apply and the media would be sent to you free.

Anyone has any idea where i could get the Ubuntu Beryl please...

Beryl (unless i'm confusing myself with Compiz) comes pre-installed with Ubuntu, you just have to activate it. You can download Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com/, and if you want, you can have them ship you a CD for free (may take at least two weeks) from https://shipit.ubuntu.com/.
