From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Enlightenment was such a cool window manager. Shame the development pace was (and still is) slow and it never really took off.
Is there even someone left?
I only tried it around 2008 or so and it was extremely slow paced back then while looking like the interface from a sci-fi movie.
it's definitely progressed a lot since 2008, but the last couple of years have been extremely slow
You don't update the perfection
having support for the newer wayland protocols in the wayland session wouldn't hurt
