So remem­ber when I told you about that guy that ran­domly approached me for using Linux?

Well, I’ve been fool­ing around with my install lately… cus­tomiz­ing it in var­i­ous ways… any­way, one of the things I did was to install Beryl, like he had sug­gested. I dunno about “chang­ing my life,” like he had said, but it’s def­i­nitely very cool. It pret­ti­fied Linux with all the neat effects of OSX/Vista. In fact, Beryl is based on XGL/Compiz, and I remem­ber when that first came out a cou­ple of months ago, peo­ple were say­ing it looks bet­ter than either OSX’s Aqua or Vista’s Aero. But don’t take my word for it. Judge for yourself:

Apple’s Aqua:

Microsoft’s Aero:

Linux’s Com­piz (the pre­de­ces­sor for Beryl):

And Linux is free (in both senses of the word)! And there’s a free and legal equiv­a­lent of any pro­gram you could be using right now on Win­dows or MacOS.
