E17 Enlightment Rocks

[rayyanputra]

I definitely want this on my Arch! Yeah!!

[sebbeks]

2:01 Stop embarrassing yourself, Narcis Prince isn't that hard!

@sebbeks

Hahaha. Love SuperPunchOut. I can still finish the game pretty easy ... use to play it alot around 15 years ago! haha

[aleclitvinov]

I'm currently uzing Compiz/LXDE on my netbook, Compiz mainly for handy desktop/window management from keyboard, I don't like any menu or cursor animations. E17 is similar to this setup in terms of size, but I have never tried it - can you tell me if it's as fast and as comfortable in switching between apps? Can it scale windows down while switching, or show all desktops at once and let you arrange the open windows between them? And if not, are there any other instruments of that kind?

[NautilusMortanian]

Little features like right clicking anywhere on the desktop for full menu access... makes me think to the functional beauty of full filesystem access from a drop down menu in BeOS. Linux lost this, largely. Now we have Unity and Gnome 3, ugly broken desktop implementations which obfuscate the essential bits of computers from the user, compiz crazy bling, am I playing an arcade game or trying to get things done? Enlightenment solves this for me. in summary, @newtubetubetube, I miss 1995.

[aleclitvinov]

@NautilusMortanian You can always edit your desktop menu and add the items you need. XFCE is a very cleverly made suite,fast and functional and minimalistic, and I prefer it over Gnome3, KDE and even Gnome2 regardless of the hardware. Compiz is a great manager with many unneeded plugins, and it becomes your best friend as soon as you disable those you don't need and configure the rest. I use it extensively, it does its job well and stays out of the way, handy even with undecorated windows.

[XareSoft]

rox huh??

[newtubetubetube]

Wow, that one ugly desktop. I didn't had a desktop that ugly since 1995. The only visible improvement is 24bpp colours.

[Linux4UnMe]

@newtubetubetube

it is merely a window manager... not a Desktop environment.... but I can add a DE on top if I feel like it and theme it however I please

[newtubetubetube]

@Linux4UnMe Who said anything about desktop environment? I surly didn't. Back in 1995, all you had on your desktop is a window manager, a app launcher, xterms and netscape for porn.

And by the way, e17 is a full desktop shell(eg: fancy word for environment).

Now get off my lawn.

[Linux4UnMe]

@newtubetubetube

lol geez, talk about touchy....

I didn't say that you did call it a D.E.... I was referring to window managers obviously don't look that great and have limited themeing ability where as if I wanted to chuck a full DE on top of this window manager I could make it look more modern..... and yes it is a near full desktop shell, but the fact you can add a full DE and use the e17 environment at the same time still classes it as a window manager in my books... but it is expanding

[Techneek21]

@newtubetubetube You're joking right?

[newtubetubetube]

@Techneek21 said "You're joking right?"

Nope. The effect look hasty done, poorly realized and it really look like my 1995 desktop. But that just me been old, i guess younger audience must like that.

[Linux4UnMe]

@MarezzSRB

touche ;)

[Ograws]

Is this lighter than LXDE

[Linux4UnMe]

@Ograws

Yes. Much Lighter

[Ograws]

@Linux4UnMe And there's nothing lighter?

[Linux4UnMe]

@Ograws

probably openbox

[TheHornyDevill]

hey. thanks for making this video because i didnt know this awesome de! im running it now an love it! :) just 1 question. how do i change the keyboard layout?

[Linux4UnMe]

@TheHornyDevill

sent you a link PM.

[cilomanfreebsd]

I have FreeBSD running KDE, Gnome, E17, FXCE, openbox, wdm, blackbox on one BSD installation. No need for n numbers of linux installation. FreeBSD is for gods and goddesses, kings and queens. : P

[22ness0hayden]

I have Gentoo running KDE4.6, Arch running Gnome3, Mint running Gnome2.x, now I want to run this too!! How many partitions can one man maintain?!! lol We're spoilt for choice with Linux!!! Thanks for the vid!

[Linux4UnMe]

@22ness0hayden

haha that is very true :)

[icguilty]

yeah! nice is the only thing u cant do with linux. i c they work to much to fix some problem but also still have it. all sw r =BUG

[xXEduBuntuXx]

-..- What is cool about that?

[pingvinkalle]

i still like gnome shell better :-)

[22ness0hayden]

@pingvinkalle You must like a very plain desktop then? I like Gnome 3 too, but this is 10x more feature rich and probably a lot faster too.

[waynefoutz]

Looks like PCLinuxOS killed both their E17 and Gnome editions...:(

[thermate911]

added to my favorites, awesome my friend :)

[joe4ska]

Great preview. One of these day's I'll have to take the time to learn how to compile e17.

[Linux4UnMe]

@joe4ska

e17 is available in most package manager's repos as a binary

[TheKaymor]

do you know if this window system is in the ubuntu repos or debain repos?

[Linux4UnMe]

@TheKaymor

indeed it is

[noferblatz]

Considering how small all the labels and buttons are, how are we meant to see what you're doing?

[Linux4UnMe]

@noferblatz

Easy. Set the video to 1080p and fullscreen it :s

[waynefoutz]

Nice video production, Kaddy. great change of pace.

[Linux4UnMe]

@waynefoutz

cheers. change of pace?

[dynetrax]

If you watch enough of this blokes videos you know hes running this on top of ArchLinux.

[Linux4UnMe]

@dynetrax

I salute you :)

[Nyocurio]

you should try out MoonOS it's frickin' beautiful 

[Linux4UnMe]

@Nyocurio

true dat. Been a while since I tried MoonOS. Got an old review somewhere

[amb1402]

i think it pc linux

[Linux4UnMe]

@amb1402

arch

[BelaFleckFan]

nice..........................­.............

[khunii]

That was totally beautiful. \m/

Where do you get your wallpapers from??

[Linux4UnMe]

@khunii

there was a package in the AUR repo called E17-backgrounds... i'm sure you could find it even on ubuntu/debian repos surely..... but I can't confirm this

[vladwilliam]

Very cool and fast but it hasnt 3d aceleration because it isnt x11 obiously, i think...

[lordchaotic0013]

@vladwilliam e17 is on xorg technically i personally enjoy e17's customizable nature

[Linux4UnMe]

@vladwilliam

:O isn't x11? might wanna check that again ;)

[mamado226]

it seems like bodhilinux isn't it ?

[Linux4UnMe]

@mamado226

bodhi uses e17 indeed. This is Arch with e17 though

[ElderSnake90]

Nice. But when are they gonna "release" E17 lol. it's still in development isnt it?

[Linux4UnMe]

@ElderSnake90

They don't consider it feature complete therefore it doesn't get an official stable status as far as I understand... but the libraries/WM is very stable and has been for years

[ElderSnake90]

@Linux4UnMe Ahh okay, cheers mate. Looks worth a try and is indeed very different to the norm.

[zeroangelmk1]

That 'shine' effect looks cool the first 1000 times you see it. I got sick of it a few days after using E17. I wish they would use it more sparingly so it retains its coolness. Like for window titles only (on focus) or buttons (on click)

[Linux4UnMe]

@zeroangelmk1

true dat... maybe you can turn it off... i havn't seen the setting yet but surely it is there somewhere....

[vladwilliam]

What distro is it?

[nw0n]

@vladwilliam i think its archlinux

[nvanadium]

@nw0n PCLinuxOS

[Linux4UnMe]

@nvanadium

Arch. But I had some PcLinuxOs themes in there for E17

[Linux4UnMe]

@vladwilliam

arch
