I clicked on the cube thing on Compic config but it doesn't do anything.

What graphics card do you have?

Well, there's System -> Preferences > Hardware Information, but it's not comprehensive or easy to understand. Look for "Radeon", "Geforce", "GMA", "Intel", "Nvidia"or "ATI".

Also try System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager. Is anything checked in that?

Well, it should work. Open the terminal, and type compiz. If it doesn't work, post whatever message appears here.

 Ah. Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. It's like Command Prompt, or DOS.

Of course not. It's Linux. They didn't "copy" Mac, because Linux is a mix-and-match thing so you can't seperate "the operating system" from "the programs users create and run".

 

I love Linux as much as the next guy, but a lot of those GUI features are straight from MacOS.
