Presently the install script for Compiz per following the instructions here are buggered on Cosmic. I swear, I was testing this the day before and everything was working just fine. Once I figure out how to make it happen, or if Scott decides to not be such a lazy doofus I’ll update with some good news.
Looks like the the uninstall script does not remove compiz files completely. I wanted to reinstall because the animation between switching desktops isn’t smooth at all, looks like it’s capped at 30fps, also running tasks still appears in MATE Panel if I switch desktops for some reason
Edit: Looks like the problem is the Sync to Vblank option, but if I disable it, screen tearing will happen
Did this not too long ago, but since I confirmed it with a live session, and I did indeed upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10 I possess special information about the system both when starting fresh with 19.10 and after having upgraded from 19.04.
If you have 19.10, you can simply install this without any prep. If you had 19.04 but are now at 19.10, you'll still probably have to prep before install.
Markdown fluff. Nothing special, but since this is the #1 organic result for google search install compiz reloaded I would celebrate belatedly this momentous occasion by making it look pretty and up to the standard I foist upon myself to make my posts interesting and easy-to-follow reads.
