    Cute that they are still doing it. I used Enlightenment for a while in college.

    Honestly, it’s not particularly good, and you still have to run the GTK or KDE stacks to get decent software, but hell, it’s ground-up different, and very stable. Shocking that Samsung paid for it to be developed; not sure what dope they were smoking, but cool

    Probably still makes more sense to pick XFCE, which has most of the same UX, but is GTK. Not that any of it matters anymore because I live my entire computer life either in a terminal or web browser

      Me too. On a 21" crt that I was so proud of. ;) it was the game in town before gnome. I do remember it fondly though. I may take it around the block for old times sake…

        Yep. Also had a 21" CRT and very wonky window decorations with Enlightenment.

        Nowadays I can’t use non-tiling window managers anymore, so I’m stuck with sway.
