What Compiz is Compiz is a compositing window manager. It has a flexible plugin=20 interface which allows developers to use it for many different tasks. More specifically, Compiz is a software project with its home at=20 freedesktop.org . It contains a limited set=20 of core plugins , some of=20 which provide basic window manager functionality, other internal=20 functionality that plugins may rely on, and some basic, yet signature=20 effects (Cube and Wobbly to name a few). You can use Compiz on its own,=20 as many choose to do, but you can also extend it. Compiz is what we=20 consider the /core/ of what Compiz Fusion is based on. What Compiz is not * Compiz is not Xgl or AIGLX. Rather, Compiz uses these technologies.= * Compiz is not obsolete; it is still in active development. * Compiz is not the same as Compiz Fusion. * Compiz does not require any particular desktop environment. It can run independently. What Compiz Fusion is Compiz Fusion is a project that aims to add more functionality to Compiz = by extending it with more plugins, tools and libraries. Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the Beryl Project=20 and Compiz Extras=20 . It should be noted that=20 what core changes were made to Beryl are /not/ part of Compiz Fusion;=20 they have either been merged or rewritten for Compiz, or remade as=20 Compiz plugins. Changes that were difficult to maintain or potentially=20 unstable were scrapped. Compiz Fusion uses Compiz as a base. Among the additions it makes are=20 tools like the CompizConfig Settings Manager=20 , libcompizconfig, and a number of=20 plugins. What Compiz Fusion is not * Compiz Fusion is not a replacement for Compiz. * Compiz Fusion is not Beryl with a new name.
