Unity, which is Ubuntu’s default desktop environment, renders graphics through the usage of an OpenGL library called compiz. Compiz was developed by Canonical. However after an update you would notice that unreasonable amount of CPU utilization by the compiz process even if your system is idle.
To access the Compiz Settings Manager, open the Start menu and navigate to Applications > Settings > Compiz Settings Manager. 2. Ensure that the Composite and OpenGL renderers are turned on. Note: Compiz needs to be added to the list of applications that run at startup before you may restart your computer.
