Enlightenment 0.28 Released with Many Improvements

In the late 90s our desktops on Linux literally looked like this [1]. Of course, that seems to have become lost to history. I bet E is still themable but you have to go back to 1999 when it was super exciting.

(In fact, it's kind of funny and sad that the state of the Linux desktop and the ambition level hasn't really changed much in 25 years)

Day #1277 of wishing xfce rewrited all their stuff in the E libraries so they and Enlightenment did a dragon-ball-style fusion and became the one lightweight desktop environment to rule them all.

Funny how Enlightment was "too heavyweight" at the time it was released, and is now considered lightweight.

This bring happy memories of picking WM here https://web.archive.org/web/20110718042510/http://www.plig.o... Too bad the web-site is no longer alive.

Delighted to see Enlightenment going strong. Brings back great memories of my first dive into linux in high school in ‘96. I was blown away by the creative breadth of desktop choices.

Nice to see this project moving forward.

Enlightment is the most complete ( although not complete ) UI ecosystem in C that I've seen.

I remember trying to compile it on my 486DX2 with 16MB of ram. I ran out of swap at some point.

Does it work with Wayland yet?
