Anyone still use Compiz?
Why is it so fucking unstable? I can count like atleast 5 bugs/glitches/crashes within the first 10 minutes of booting it up. Fuck.
Why is it so hard to get a MODERN desktop on linux? NO I don't want a fucking Windows 95 tier GUI, god damn linux blows.
Sounds like you want Solus. Though it doesn't have any packages.

Not modern at all. No window previews, no fancy effects, nothing besides a sleek black theme and a Meme right panel with almost zero functionality
Try again. I'll wait.
I already tried KWin.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Besides some easily correctable issues like resolution, those UIs from the 90s were better than the "modern" shit

So this is it. The desktop enviorment will never progresss past windows 95. That was the peak. This is the most we can ever achieve. You have a panel, and a window list, and a start menu. That or tiling window managers. This is what your quad core 4.5ghz processor can do. Wow, i'm so glad we've advanced and kept making new hardware.................

Use Ubuntu.
You get a modern UI AND Compiz.

>MODERN desktop on linux?
yeah I think we all might have to wait a few years for that. maybe Wayland will help. Unity is pretty modern and not too buggy as long as you don't change the settings. I use xfce currently.
