[Trisquel-devel] Is Compiz-Reloaded feasible on Trisquel 12 GNU+Linux ecne?

[kanvindan]

Hello everyone.

This is my first email to the Trisquel-devel list. I'm not aware of the 
rules or etiquette for sending a message to the Trisquel devs (couldn't 
find it on 
https://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-devel), so please 
excuse me.

A month ago, I tried compiling Compiz-Reloaded 
(https://gitlab.com/compiz) on Trisquel 12. After many days of 
painstaking work, I was able to get it functional, but it was buggy. 
Also, I found it conflicts with the mesa-vulkan-drivers package: it 
would give me a empty MATE desktop when activating compiz. Removing the 
vulkan drivers resolves the issue. For those who may not have heard of 
Compiz-Reloaded, it's just a continuation of compiz 0.8. I strongly 
prefer compiz 0.8 over the official compiz packages. For now, it's too 
buggy to be considered stable; it would crash occasionally. 
Compiz-Reloaded works fine on Trisquel 11 aramo. A sidenote: this was 
tested in a virtual machine. I have yet to try on real hardware.

Is Compiz-Reloaded still feasible on Trisquel 12? And if I may ask, is 
there a possibility of offering Compiz-Reloaded on the ecne repositories 
in the future should it be considered feasible?

I would like to hear your thoughts on this issue.

Thank you.

Kalvin Dan
