Enlightenment, also known simply as E, is a compositing window manager for the X Window System. Since version 0.20, Enlightenment also supports Wayland.[3] It is shipped with some Linux distributions such as Bodhi Linux and Pentoo.[4]
Enlightenment is only a window manager at its core; however, with many modules included, it can be extended to resemble a full desktop environment.[5] Since version 0.17 (E17), Enlightenment has been written with the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL), and the Enlightenment project also writes a set of applications with the EFL.
