It would be curious to test memory usage on a freshly booted Leap/TW machine with XFCE, Gnome and KDE. Fresh installed with defaults for each system, no tuning, rebooting for each comparison. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Neither come close to enlightenment, which also has a far better software renderer as well. :-) -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

When I look a the CONCEPT of Enlightenment as a GUI/desktop I am impressed and drool. Every time I've tried using it I get frustrated and stymied. Sometimes I think I need someone to hand me a system with it fully set up and doing the sort of things I do with KDE and say "here you are, use this", but ... The thing is that so many of the KDE tools are wonderful. Dolphin might not be up to what KDE3 or KDE4 Konqueror were as a file manager that segued into a browser, but it is still superior to Thungar. I'm sort-of glad that KDE5 has been shown to be as light as XFCE. Yes, I've read web pages about Enlightenment and configuring it. As with so many other UNIX/Linux applications the language is that of the develoipers who know what they are talking about and are unable to see things from the POV of a newbie user. Perhaps you, Simon, can demonstrate to me otherwise. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ditto! I loved E-16 (which enlightenment still provides a release of), and I worked with enlightment (E-17 at first, then just enlightenment). The desktop is excellent, but the widgets were horribly fragile. You would tweak a setting in the file navigation "thing?" and things would fall apart. Years ago I used to try to install and compare each of the desktops from repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/ (even sawfish), and they all had their pluses and minuses. E-16 stood out, as did the rendering in enlightenment (as did/does Fluxbox for just a damn good and simple Linux desktop). I'll have to see if I can try enlightenment again. It has been 8 or so years since I had it running (maybe longer) -- David C.

If you getting it running to your satisfaction or if Simon might be so gracious, then publishing a working configuration of a reasonable setup with hints as how to use would be very welcome. This thread has already brought a bout a few "me too' responses and I suspect there's a 'silent majority' out there who would be interested as well. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You mean they ditched Plasma and went back to KDE3 -- alright! 284K for a fully loaded and fully functional desktop ain't bad! openSUSE has KDE3 in such great shape -- it's just a pleasure ;-) -- David C.
