  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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