What are the default Window Managers in Ubuntu and Fedora?

What are the default window managers in Ubuntu (11.10) and Fedora (16)? I didn't seem to be able to find it online, and if it can be installed in CrunchBang.


Solution 1:

The default desktop environment on Fedora is GNOME, using the GNOME Shell. Fedora 16 includes GNOME and GNOME Shell version 3.2. The default desktop environment on Ubuntu is also technically GNOME, but using the Unity shell. Ubuntu 11.10 also includes GNOME 3.2, but uses Unity version 4.22.0.

The default window manager in Fedora w/GNOME Shell is Mutter. The default window manager in Ubuntu w/Unity is Compiz.

GNOME 3 is not packaged for CrunchBang, but reportedly can be easily installed from the Debian testing repository. Unity is not currently available for Debian or CrunchBang.
