Has anyone tried the #Enlightenment DE for #Linux in the recent years?

How was the experience?

I tried it once like 5 years ago (hope thats recent enough lol), when I heard that they have per monitor virtual desktops.

But I was missing so many KDE Plasma features that I loved, that I just had to go back. I don’t remember exactly which features though.

Per monitor virtual desktops is really cool though.

Windows 11 covers that workflow even better now with a feature called window grouping. I think I’ll need to write a kwin plugin or something for that…

sorry for the offtopic rant, but thats the major thing which comes to mind when somebody mentions enlightenment!

I think it’s even better on a single monitor when you have a lot of windows open.

It puts multiple windows into a group, so you only see one entry in the taskbar. When you click that, all the grouped windows get minimized/madimized.

I used it on the work laptop as well. And just grouped my different sub workflows, each of which had 2-3 windows.

That way I could switch the task without juggling multiple windows.

Your setup looks really nice, I’m curious about replicating it.

Does the DE you use also work in portrait mode?

Does it autorotate?

Deckweiss, 21 days ago (edited 17 days ago)

Do you by chance have an installscript, dotfiles or a config backup for your setup?

If not, is there any easy way for you to share your setup wholesale somehow?

I kind of want to slap it on my pine phone for a spin, but I don’t really feel like manually setting it all up right now …

Awesome, thanks for the link, I’ll get into it.

I’m quite happy with:

It has nice widgets.

Decided to test some browser fingerprinting this morning via the Cover Your Tracks tool by @eff. @brave, @librewolf, and (no surprise) @torproject all performed (or appeard to perform) better than @mullvadnet.

This one is also an interesting test because it has ways around many obfuscation attempts that privacy oriented browsers utilize. Well… less of a test and more of a showcase how creepy js is.

On my setup it was able to get way more info compared to coveryourtracks. For example, creepjs always detects my actual display size, but coveryourtracks doesn’t.

Not even chameleon seems to be able to hide all your stuff from creepjs.

So the best privacy you can get is to disable js completely.

It’s like the author has just read Georges Bataille - The Accursed Share and now sees it in everything.
