Thanks, @MichaelTunnell - a great week for creative folks with Krita, Darktable, OBS and G.I.M.P. updates.
I remember Enlightenment from many years ago, possibly its origins, which I think perhaps preceded both Gnome and KDE. Also looking at the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries I see they are support very few language bindings, though of course C is supported. I’m still thinking Gtk seems the way forward when I look at portable GUI coding outside Java which is my current preference.
I’ll be interested to watch Linus from all that time ago. I graduated with my degree in Computing back in 1995 and remember being fascinated by Minix then too
I’ve attempted LFS several times but got stuck in configuring networking at the final stage. When I’ve finally completed that I’d love to try either an Arch or a Gentoo approach, so Calculate Linux looks interesting too!
