I think its a mix of this development problems at Compiz and the resultant instability/ability to break your system. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/to-sam-the-face-behind-the-wobbly-window/ http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/should-ccsm-be-purged-from-the-ubuntu-repos/ j On 7 February 2012 13:02, Simon Greenwood wrote: > > > On 7 February 2012 12:48, scoundrel50a wrote: >> >> Anybody know why Ubuntu seems to be the only one using Compiz now, and why >> all the other distros have dropped it, and what will they use instead? >> >> >> >> > > As the article says, many distros have turned to Mutter.

Anybody know why Ubuntu seems to be the only one using Compiz now, and why all the other distros have dropped it, and what will they use instead?
