Beryl Project

REVIEW

It's a fairly poorly written review, but that's not the point. I don't know many people that are familiar with Beryl, but in my opinion it's the first truly capable GUI for a Linux system. I know plenty of "usable" interfaces already exist, but this is the first one I've come in contact with that really has the proper focus.

Beryl Project Features Page

While they even admit they borrow a number of features from the Macintosh interface, they have a few new ideas as well. I haven't actually looked at any of these videos on YouTube (they're referenced in the review) but here's what a simple search finds:

Beryl Project Videos. Maybe.

I recommend reading the features page and skimming the videos (or installing it on a machine if you're really interested). It's good to know that the open source community is finally moving in this direction.
