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
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
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
So the other reason is EFL is hard to work with i see,If so why does Samsung use it Oh well.
