I'm new to the whole GNOME Shell. I recently installed it, and I read somewhere a while ago that Compiz is completely broken with GNOME Shell so I have to use Mutter instead. I have no idea where to start though; I sifted through Google and couldn't find any tutorials on it. So far, I have brought up a terminal and did sudo mutter --replace
; this works okay, but I don't know how to replace it permanently so I always have Mutter enabled. Secondly it seems to kill the whole shell: I can't move my cursor to the top left and access my applications like I could before.
Is there an easier way? Also, how do I access the effects like in Compiz?
I'm sorry, I'm pretty new.
~/.config/monitors.xml
, gsettings, the gitlab code and gnome-shell'sr
command are your friend.
