In desktop Mate 17.03 settings I see that there are multiple window manager options. Marco, Metacity, Composting and mixtures of them are available. I was just wondering which took the least and most GPU resources?
I don't see such options on my Cinnamon installs.

I think that Composting is the most environment friendly way of getting rid of things.urdrwho wrote:In desktop Mate 17.03 settings I see that there are multiple window manager options. Marco, Metacity, Composting

Re: Marco Metacity Composting - which take less resources
@karlchen:
Compositing is heavy. If you disable it you'll have less visual effects, but generally less use of system resources and also improved stability. For those reasons I always disable it.
You can also disable it in Cinnamon:

That is what I was thinking because back in the years I used Kubuntu KDE compositing took a lot of resources.
