    I used Bodhi Linux for a long time and I still remember how cool was the Enlightment fork they used: Moksha

    Enlightment doesn’t support many distros and i think Gnome looks much better and much more unique

    To be fair E always had great potential (I recall reading somewhere some car makers use it in their infotainment UIs), but alas doesn’t have the manpower to keep it at the same pace as some other DEs, even much newer than it. If I were Xfce and got the last straw of the GNOME-ization of GTK I’d rewrite all my shit with the E libraries - hell, it would be awesome if those two merged together.

      I remember running Enlightenment as a DM for my pc long ago and loved it’s looks and animated splash screen. Back then I found other DM to be looking like old stuff trying to look like windows. But E was beautiful and smooth. Just not the most developed as a system management ( it was mostly just a DM and no proper system configuration tools ) I don’t know where it’s at now but I kind of miss the styling.

    I used both E16 and E17 a bit, in ye olden days. Really cool stuff. Very different ideas of what a desktop is/can/should be/do

      Yeah, but we like to also constantly talk about it ok, I think we established that as well, or do we have to fight about it talk about the beauty of Linux some more??

      Twenty years ago, you’d run it every now and then because it was kind of fun. I’m not sure if it counts as actually using it though. There were actual window managers for that.

      I’m not sure what the use case is nowadays, I’ll have to install it someday.
