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

    pip? Gnome extension for that is pretty great, works like the browser pip but for any window, justa video you can’t click on, but useful for stremio and other stuff you need a preview of, still high quality

      Well, that was just kind of one example to illustrate that it isn’t just a static screenshot, you actually see what’s going on in real-time. It’s also useful when you’re running a longer operation, like OS updates or encoding a video, and want to see when it’s done or that it hasn’t failed. You can just tell when the command output has stopped moving or a popup has appeared…

      But thanks for the recommendation anyways!
