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

    I vastly prefer connman/iwd, always had weird issues with NM. Currently running connman-gtk on XFCE.

    And tweaking to your needs, isn’t that expected for a new desktop setup? One hour isn’t even that much.
    I’m amazed again and again how stuck even technical people can be in their habits.

      Well, it didn’t feel like I’m tweaking to my needs (that came afterwards on top), it rather felt like I’m just undoing design decisions that someone made to cater to their specific needs.

      And I named the time mainly to give an idea of how much there was to tweak. My main problems were:

      • That I could not undo some of those unusual design decisions.
      • That it doesn’t exactly make the system more robust when you need lots of non-default settings.
