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

    If you’ve never heard of ConnMan, yeah, I only know it from Enlightenment, too.

    I used it for a while trying to wean myself off NetworkManager, which has a lot of optional dependencies that distributions tend to link in. So, you don’t want Gnome on your system, but you want NM? Too bad, you got Gnome.

    Anyway, connman is pretty fussy and not very intuitive. I think it’s better for systems that are always on the same network; it’s a pain to travel and connect to open networks with.
