key question: does it work with compiz, or somehow support 3D?
- jdub 16y agoExcuse the jargon, but... gnome-shell is a plugin for mutter, which is a fork of metacity, built on top of Clutter (thus "mutter") for awesome 3D scene/animation support. In fewer words: Yes, it has some 3Ds in it. ;-)
- shekmalhen 16y agoIt uses mutter as its window manager, which is based on metacity and uses the clutter toolkit (hardware accelerated UI). It replaces compiz but seems to have much less eye candy. Remember, metacity is the WM for the grown up! So gnome-shell will require a GPU (should work on the Intel GMA), but have the side effect of not working in virtual machines.
