    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

      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??

    I don’t think they realize what the X means

    There should be a checkmark next to “logo is a foot”

      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.

      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.

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

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