Interesting to note that nobody mentions Enlightenment or the Ubuntu-based Bodhi Linux disto. I really can't figure out if Enlightenment is simply living in a dark hole of obscurity or if it's actively ignored.
(And if it's being ignored I'd love to know more about why, I've always enjoyed it as a desktop environment.)
- johnny22 15y agoi actively ignore it because it doesn't give me the nearly full stack integration that GNOME does.
- ubernostrum 15y agoFor the Linux boxes I keep around, E16 is still, after over a decade, my preferred graphical shell. In fact, I don't think I've touched the config since around 2001. That said, I don't get all the bashing on GNOME and Unity; yeah, there are rough spots (and obligatory "power users" who think GUI means a window that shows one checkbox for each command-line option), but they're trying to do good and I applaud them for the attempt.
- greatquux 15y agoVery happy using oneiric ocelot with the bodhi repositories and their E17!
- jamesgeck0 15y agoOne reason might be because e17, like Gnome 3, uses binary configuration files.
