What is Compiz? What is it good for? Can some explain it in a single digestible sentence?
I've been resisting to ask as not to provoke something unexpected or show an ignorance; I asked G, as well as compiz.org - but I do not like the BS Bingo answer meaning nothing. Without any rational basis, I always thought that it is some sort of trendy gimmick for shaking windows or such... So, can someone who knows, break it down for me? What does it do?
