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

    Enlightenment has been around for 28 years. This means there is enough adoption for it to keep going on.

      I mean, to my knowledge, it’s still Rasterman keeping most of the development together. You don’t need a ton of adoption when one guy tirelessly works on it.

      Although I’m guessing Samsung probably sponsors him, so that’s probably quite crucial for him to be able to put that much time into it.
