Every time I read something about Enlightenment I have to think about this post: https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/15001/enlightened
I used Bodhi Linux for a long time and I still remember how cool was the Enlightment fork they used: Moksha
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.
Samsung supposedly uses it for tizen
yeah their libraries efl
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.
Agree
You had me at cats.

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

I think most of Lemmy acknowled the beauty of Linux
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 ittalk about the beauty of Linux some more??/s
(well, not sarcasm, more like a joke)

I haven’t used enlightenment but I’ve always heard interesting things about it. Does anyone have any experience with it or know why it be like that
I used it as my main DE a few years ago, its great! Really cool UI, completely different to all other DE’s but it makes sense, and it has some cool stylings like for example virtual desktops icons being the actual desktops, just really tiny. The bugs, however, kept piling up, and it (segmentation fault)ed too often, so I had to abandon it. Last I heard, the reason it doesn’t get major dev work anymore is that its really hard to work with.
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.
Tried it in a vm, I just don’t like it’s ui but the ux is good.
Enlightment doesn’t support many distros and i think Gnome looks much better and much more unique

True (segmentation failure) but they said its all a joke from the source i linked:
