To be fair E always had great potential (I recall reading somewhere some car makers use it in their infotainment UIs), but alas doesn't have the manpower to keep it at the same pace as some other DEs, even much newer than it. If I were Xfce and got the last straw of the GNOME-ization of GTK I'd rewrite all my shit with the E libraries - hell, it would be awesome if those two merged together.
I remember running Enlightenment as a DM for my pc long ago and loved it's looks and animated splash screen. Back then I found other DM to be looking like old stuff trying to look like windows. But E was beautiful and smooth. Just not the most developed as a system management ( it was mostly just a DM and no proper system configuration tools ) I don't know where it's at now but I kind of miss the styling.
E was black magic. The things it could do with such little hardware were mind blowing. And the ESD became the de facto sound standard before ALSA.
Out of interest, after alsa it was pulse and now it's turning to pipewire?
What was the standard before ESD?
Before ESD? I donโt recall. Spittle and prayers, I think. I vaguely recall having sound on my Sound Blaster 16 in my 486DX2, butโฆ that was a long time ago.
OSS was the Linux sound system before ALSA. Iโm not sure if ESD replaced OSS or ran on top of it. I vaguely remember configuring this stuff for my 486/SoundBlaster in Slackware back in the early 2000s.
Youโre right. I think ESD could run atop OSS and maybe even ALSA for a while. Not sure if it could operate without either. Those sure were interesting times.
Samsung supposedly uses it for tizen
yeah their libraries efl
Agree
