Public bug reported:
compton's been pretty much abandoned and as such someone took it upon
themselves to fork/rewrite it and that is what has resulted in picom.
picom is partially compatible with compton but it does not support all
of its options. Since Recommends are installed by default, installing
compton results in having two compositors (picom and compton) and since
picom doesn't come with a default config all set up, it will use
compton.conf and it will likely fail silently. This is just bad. If
anything, picom should be a suggest, or just simply not mentioned at
all.
