It wont. Of course its name will change but what Compiz has started will never go away. This article also discusses real 3D using Compiz. Did you try that ? @Michael You really think Compiz will phase out. It wont. Of course its name will change but what Compiz has started will never go away.

I never thought I'd see another article pushing compiz. Considering right now it's pretty much default on every distro known to man and likely to be phased out of distros as gnome 3 hits later this year. Wow, talk about late to the party.

While I have friends who eschew all such "eye candy" as a waste of processor time, I think eye candy makes for a more engaging computing experience. However, I've had to turn Compiz completely off on all my Ubuntu computers (4 of them, all running Ubuntu 9.10). I have grandchildren, and all of them have Club Penguin accounts. Firefox and Flash on Ubuntu works fine with Club Penguin until Compiz is enabled. Then, it doesn't work at all. They can't even log in. I've not seen any other mention of this on the Web, and I'm not clever enough to fix it myself. So Compiz just stays off. Does anyone else who might see this know how to get it working?
