As in title - is it possible to use Compiz with GNOME Flashback on Ubuntu 20.04 ? If yes, how ? It would be nice to have some features like window overview screen with miniatures of all open windows, something that Compiz provided in the older version of Ubuntu.

compiz gnome-flashback 20.04

  1. Best Answer

    The corresponding compiz-gnome package is in place.

    So it should work after you install it with

    sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome

    and optionally set settings using CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm):

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    Then select relevant session on login screen.

  2. Yes, Gnome Session Flashback can be used both with metacity and with compiz. In addition to installing gnome-session-flashback, you need to install compiz::

    sudo apt-get -y install compiz-plugins compizconfig-settings-manager

    Select the "GNOME Flashback (Compiz)" session during login.
