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
  • non_burglar@lemmy.world

    Enlightenment is SO configurable that it almost doesn’t have a look, and therefore doesn’t really have "brand’ per se. Take a look at galleries and collections of enlightenment setups: they’re all massively different in look and behaviour.

    I remember in my early days of Linux (late 90s) it was too much for me.
