[PLUG] VLC 3.0

[Chuck Hast]

I installed Ubuntu Mate, it let me select my favorite, Compiz. I have all of
the Compiz stuff I like (cube etc) and have plenty of control over it. You
use
the Mate Tweak and go in and change the desktop to what you want. Use
Compiz Config setting manager to set up a bunch of it.

I tried Ubuntu and found the same thing, too restrictive and none of the
Compiz
stuff worked. They swapped their mamma for an ass... Unity was ugly but I
was able to rapidly replace it with Compiz (it was based in part on Compiz)
and get the screens I wanted, but now kind of like a Linux version of
windows.
