Enlightenment Lives

Posted by michael on from the do-some-E dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "The Enlightenment Project, far from dead, is pleased to announce the DR16.7.1 release of the Enlightenment Window Manager. With tons of fixes, a massive overhaul of the internals, and several new features this release is a must try for those who haven't run E in a long time. The window manager that redefined the way a desktop can look is still going strong."

  1. The 90's called and they want their WM back! by n2rjt · · Score: 1, Troll

    Seriously, I tried E when it was young, and wasn't impressed. It didn't help that my Linux box was a 486DX2 @ 66MHz. I used olvwm or fvwm95 back then, before switching to qvwm. The impression I got when seeing Enlightenment running on friends' machines was that it was full of glitz but otherwise no better than the minimal WMs I was running.

    A standalone window manager is a thing of the past. Now, it has to be integrated with the desktop environment of choice.
