Since the day that I started using Linux I've been using transparency with my terminal but recently someone got me interested in window blur so here we are. The problem is that enabling blur with the newer picom fork is a little bit of a hassle and doesn't work on most hardware but fear not there is a solution. What we're going to use in the meantime is this really old fork of compton that supports a really efficient blur algorithm called kawase, hopefully in the near future this video won't be needed and this fork will be merged into the picom project.
