Enlightenment does support Wayland

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

Should have had a point like

❌ Everyone pronounces it wrong (gee-nome)

[-] peppers_ghost@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Nobody will ever be able to get me to pronounce it that way

Every time I read something about Enlightenment I have to think about this post: https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/15001/enlightened

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 10 points 1 day ago

That was enlightening.

[-] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Thank you for the link, this rant is amazing 😂

I don’t think they realize what the X means

To be fair E always had great potential (I recall reading somewhere some car makers use it in their infotainment UIs), but alas doesn't have the manpower to keep it at the same pace as some other DEs, even much newer than it. If I were Xfce and got the last straw of the GNOME-ization of GTK I'd rewrite all my shit with the E libraries - hell, it would be awesome if those two merged together.

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

I remember running Enlightenment as a DM for my pc long ago and loved it's looks and animated splash screen. Back then I found other DM to be looking like old stuff trying to look like windows. But E was beautiful and smooth. Just not the most developed as a system management ( it was mostly just a DM and no proper system configuration tools ) I don't know where it's at now but I kind of miss the styling.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

E was black magic. The things it could do with such little hardware were mind blowing. And the ESD became the de facto sound standard before ALSA.

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 22 hours ago

Out of interest, after alsa it was pulse and now it's turning to pipewire?
What was the standard before ESD?

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 13 hours ago

Before ESD? I don’t recall. Spittle and prayers, I think. I vaguely recall having sound on my Sound Blaster 16 in my 486DX2, but… that was a long time ago.

[-] oporko@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago

OSS was the Linux sound system before ALSA. I’m not sure if ESD replaced OSS or ran on top of it. I vaguely remember configuring this stuff for my 486/SoundBlaster in Slackware back in the early 2000s.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 11 hours ago

You’re right. I think ESD could run atop OSS and maybe even ALSA for a while. Not sure if it could operate without either. Those sure were interesting times.

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Samsung supposedly uses it for tizen

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Malloc

That's a good cat name!

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

It also sounds like "malo" in Spanish which means "bad".

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

true (its actually his real name)

[-] dunz@feddit.nu 19 points 1 day ago

I used both E16 and E17 a bit, in ye olden days. Really cool stuff. Very different ideas of what a desktop is/can/should be/do

I think most of Lemmy acknowled the beauty of Linux

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, but we like to also constantly talk about it ok, I think we established that as well, or do we have to ~~fight about it~~ talk about the beauty of Linux some more??

(well, not sarcasm, more like a joke)

I used Bodhi Linux for a long time and I still remember how cool was the Enlightment fork they used: Moksha

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

I haven't used enlightenment but I've always heard interesting things about it. Does anyone have any experience with it or know why it be like that

[-] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

I used it as my main DE a few years ago, its great! Really cool UI, completely different to all other DE's but it makes sense, and it has some cool stylings like for example virtual desktops icons being the actual desktops, just really tiny. The bugs, however, kept piling up, and it (segmentation fault)ed too often, so I had to abandon it. Last I heard, the reason it doesn't get major dev work anymore is that its really hard to work with.

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Tried it in a vm, I just don't like it's ui but the ux is good.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Twenty years ago, you'd run it every now and then because it was kind of fun. I'm not sure if it counts as actually using it though. There were actual window managers for that.

I'm not sure what the use case is nowadays, I'll have to install it someday.

[-] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

E supports Wayland

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Enlightment doesn't support many distros and i think Gnome looks much better and much more unique

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Enlightment doesn’t support many distros

True (segmentation failure) but they said its all a joke from the source i linked:
