Cute that they are still doing it. I used Enlightenment for a while in college.
Honestly, it’s not particularly good, and you still have to run the GTK or KDE stacks to get decent software, but hell, it’s ground-up different, and very stable. Shocking that Samsung paid for it to be developed; not sure what dope they were smoking, but cool
Probably still makes more sense to pick XFCE, which has most of the same UX, but is GTK. Not that any of it matters anymore because I live my entire computer life either in a terminal or web browser
Me too. On a 21" crt that I was so proud of. ;) it was the game in town before gnome. I do remember it fondly though. I may take it around the block for old times sake…
Yep. Also had a 21" CRT and very wonky window decorations with Enlightenment.
Nowadays I can’t use non-tiling window managers anymore, so I’m stuck with sway.
I always wanted a touchscreen laptop because enlightenment said it was great for touchscreens and now that I have one ten+ years later I take one look at enlightenment and I’m just like “eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh”
So many forks when all I want is a spoon.
This is the distro Megan the Stallion uses.
Is this a joke about getting shot in the foot?
I don’t know much of anything about Megan the Stallion, or that she was shot in the foot apparently, I just know she has a song that goes “body ody ody ody ody ody ody ody” a whole lot.

Enlightenment is such an underrated desktop but development for it is very slow moving. Only a few people work on it and most likely in their spare time but for what it does and how little resources it pulls makes it very impressive. It’s pretty much a fully featured desktop and only takes a little over 100mb
