I have compiz installed on centos 6.6, and I?ve been testing 7.1, but I can't find any info on installing compiz on 7.1. Is there any info for this or is it not supported yet? Thanks, -wes

I installed 6.3 (did updates and it took me to 6.6) and did yum install compiz after installing epel repo support and it found it within centos 6.6. -wes

Whether that is for technical or licensing or political reasons I do not know. For KDE 4 users, the native window manager has many features found in compiz. GNOME 3 has a compositing window manager built into the shell(!), so compiz wouldn't work with it anyway, -- Liam

I also vaguely recall recently seeing a posting that the reason for it not being available for Gnome is that Gnome already has compositing stuff built in. But I could be wrong about thatl.
