Hi lemmy
So i was curious why Enlightenment didn’t recieve much adoption in the Linux Desktop. (especially for a fully featured lightweight wayland DE)
Ik Bodhi Linux uses Enlightenment, but it’s more of Moksha rather then using Enlightenment
Cause
- Lighter then LXQT
- Somewhat customizable
But I can see people not liking it cause.
- the ui(especially for windows users)
- Hard to find themes due to it using its own toolkit
This is what always comes to my mind when someone mentions Enlightenment: https://web.archive.org/web/20230424121033/https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/15001/enlightened. Might provide some answers too.
Enlightenment window manager is the most beautiful desktop ever made and rasterman is an artistic genius
i’ve seen this story being posted so many times over the years and every time it’s such a good read
Yes! I actually couldn’t resist reading it again when posting it.
Good Lord… I thought I had seen some shit, but everything is a void*?
Thank you for that horrible read that I’ve gotta share with some friends lol
holy bejeezus, I would not go anywhere near that. Qt is not a programmer’s dream but it’s a hell of a lot better
So the other reason is EFL is hard to work with i see,If so why does Samsung use it Oh well.
