A Look at the Compiz and Beryl Merger

invisibastard writes to mention that Linux Tech Daily has an editorial on the merger between Compiz and Beryl. "This state of affairs was a shame. Something that was finally getting the general public excited about Linux, the 3D desktop, was wasting time with duplication of effort and fighting. There were concerns about the long term viability of Beryl. The perception in the community overall was, Compiz = old and stale, Beryl = fresh and exciting. This despite the feeling in the Compiz community that the "real work" was being done by David Reveman and Compiz, and there were exciting things with Compiz core (like input redirection, etc...) on the horizon."

    It all may be a bit irrelevant when Mac OS X 10.5 comes out...
    Not as long as Macs are still overpriced compared to PCs.

    Well, I'd like to see peace on earth, good will towards man, and get a blow job tonight. But none of those things have to do with this article. Well, burning windows may get me a blow job. But only when they work without crashing.
