Default Linux software ( not spam )

Hey im preety new to my unbuntu and when i go into add/remove programs i see heaps of games that arnt installed but when i click then it wont install these.

Is there any program to help me use unbuntu?

IS there any program like beryl or compiz fusion that doesnt require a certain GPU ( means graphic card rite? )

Im officialy closing all my other spam/hijacked threads besept 'ubuntu killed windows'

Yeah you can, those are only window borders (and icons).download that file (tar.gz file) from Gnome art and go to theme and click add.
Or you can alternatively download Art-manager from synaptic it will help you with icons and window border colors

cheers mate

am not on ubuntu right now so i could have helped a bit better but once i get home i'll update

Pretty much any software you want can be installed via Synaptic Package Manager. As far as Compiz goes, did you enable that restricted driver? If you did and tried the 3D Cube, then you answered your own question.

Edit: That mac menu you are refer to is Engage Dock made for enlightenment in the Elive distro. You can probably install that with Synaptic Packet Manager. If not, just do a google search.

I don't think that driver has anything to do with your graphics card. I don't what it will do. Probably nothing if the title is correct.
