I'd played with Compiz in the past. I was very impressed with the desktop effects it provided, such as Wobbly Windows (like windows made of Jelly), workspaces/desktops mapped to a cube and random menu effects. I found playing games would cause issues, so it slipped from use as a buggy GUI is not wanted.
Imagine my surprise when I re-tried Compiz and discovered it fast, bug free and that it played nicely with fullscreen games. Woohoo. Now I finally have a desktop that IMHO puts Windows and Macs to shame.
Installation:
Under Linux Mint it was as simple as installing the Mate desktop (if using Cinnamon) and then enabling Compiz, rather than the standard Marco Composite desktop.
Initially I discovered no "Wobbly Windows", so a quick install of "compiz plugins" fixed that and also added many other features. So much to customise now, wow, just wow.
