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.

I've been experimenting with DEs on a low end machine (celeron n3010, 2gb ram), and so far, I'm still on xfce, but I forgot to test Enlightenment. Gonna give it a try.
I install enlightenment in a asus netbook. Still working. Haven't updated for so long. ~10 yrs?
May I ask what distro you're using?
Bodhi. I tried to compile by myself first. But it sometimes won't work. Too much trouble. Bodhi is simply easy and allow me to stay in Ubuntu/Debian based, as long as you don't need really new packages. But we have flatpak, right?
