Anyone here still using Compiz and gnome 2 on their desktops?
Anyone have a 3 monitor setup?
Anyone here try Wayland yet in a newish distribution?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking to upgrade my front end desktop: I would like to upgrade my monitors to 4k with an AMD gfx card to drive them over DP using OSS drivers and Mesa stack.
I still use an old Fedora 19 with Compiz and Mate and a newer kernel with BFQ and BFS for my workstation but it is starting to creak around the edges as it is hand managed .
Problem of forced upgrade: I need a newer distro with new X, kernel and gfx card mesa stack that works with Compiz + mate or desktop that provides SIMILAR functionality. It has to drive 3 4k monitors over DP.
When I upgrade I would like to keep the same functionality I have now so as not to have to screw around with my workflow any if at all.
[1] 3 displays (4k over DP)
[2] and a 3x8 virtual desktop grid, sometimes bigger depending on what Im working on.
[3] I use 3 important Compiz plugins for navigation of desktop grid, and window selection and movement between desktops
a) * Expo plugin: shows 24 desktops accross 3 monitors, use for switching/moving/drag/dropping stuff between desktops
b) * Scale: window picker for current desktop and ALL 24 desktops
can quickly scan all windows, click to zoom in/out, browse, then select to go to right desktop
c) * plugins to slide between desktops and shortcuts to send windows directly to 1 of 24 desktops
