"Back in the early 2000s, Enlightenment was my desktop of choice. To this day, Enlightenment is still an option, and it's one that remains just as fun and unique to use. Also: MX Linux has an old-school look and feel. Here's why it's so popular Back in those days, I had to install Enlightenment manually, because there were no distributions that offered it as a default."
"At one point, a new Linux distribution came into being that made use of Enlightenment as its only desktop environment -- Bodhi Linux. After some time with Enlightenment, the primary developer decided to fork the DE and created Moksha. Moksha is still in the vein of Enlightenment, only with a dash more user friendliness. It offers a vast amount of configurations and a menu that can be accessed from anywhere on the desktop with a left mouse click."
"Like Bohdi Linux, MX Moksha still includes one of my favorite old-school Linux features: Window shading. If you've never experienced this, you can double-click on a window titlebar, and the window will roll up until all you see is the titlebar. It's a wonderful way of making space on the desktop, without having to minimize applications. Keep in mind that not all applications honor window shading."
MX Moksha is a new MX Linux spin built around Moksha, a fork of the Enlightenment desktop that emphasizes user friendliness and configurability. Moksha preserves Enlightenment's lightweight design while adding a large set of configuration options and a global menu accessible with a left-click. The environment retains old-school features such as window shading, which collapses windows to their titlebars to save desktop space. Some applications do not support shading if they use nonstandard window decorations, for example Firefox. MX Moksha aims to be fun to use and capable of reviving older hardware while offering a distinctive, efficient desktop experience.
