Whether or not anyone's been paying attention, I've been bitching about computing needing something new for quite a while. Well, as I discovered while surfing today, there are a few things you can do. (Just a note for windows users, you're stuck without stuff like this. Serves you right.)
Recently, I moved onto Ubuntu as my operating system. Some linux enthusiasts may disagree, but it's nicely organised, and simplifies a lot of the hard stuff. As default, it's not installed, but I learnt about a very nice music playing app called amaroK. Organises everything very well. That was step one.
Step two. Compiz. What's compiz? Compiz makes your computer look the way it always should've done. Alpha blended title bars, rotating cube desktop, stretchy windows. So many things have been thrown into this window manager. On top of that, it runs pretty smoothly two. Hell, it's usable on the heap I call a PC, so who shouldn't be able to run it?
Other than that, only other thing worth meantioning would be Wine. It lets you run windows software under linux. Sometimes. 'Nuff said.
On a final note, it be the exam period now. Got an exam tomorrow. Damn. Well, goodnight.
