Enlightenment - for those who have nothing better to do with an OS than change settings

Curiosity about the Enlightenment desktop drove me to use nearly 500MB of my internet-data allocation to install it on Ubuntu 22.04, which I now admit is nice, although in my opinion the workspace-switching scheme is a solution in search of a problem. In a nutshell, "Enlightenment" is a misleading name, because as far as I'm concerned, it's one of the least enlightened desktops I've used, although I never actually got around to using to do anything. For example, the default fonts are microscopic, and I couldn't figure out how to change them. Perhaps it was meant for developers to use as the basis for an actual desktop, such as Bodhi and Elive, by setting it up to make it usable.

The file manager (Fileman) is a PITA to use. To open an encrypted partition, I had to use Disks to unlock and mount it, but it still didn't appear in the file manager's devices-column, so to access it via the file manager (although it would have been easier to just keep using Disks), I had to go to the /media/<user-name> directory, and I finally found it. Perhaps it was meant to conceal encrypted partitions from those who aren't aware of them, but most other file managers display encrypted partitions in the devices-column as soon as they're plugged in. Bodhi Linux, which is Ubuntu combined with Enlightenment, uses Thunar, the XFCE file manager, which is one of my favorites, so I'm not the only one who doesn't like Fileman.

I was also expecting some sort of a whiz-bang window-manager which would make it easy to move from one to another, but as far as I can tell, that's not the case. Anyways, taskbars seem like the optimal approach for doing this when the window of interest is hidden behind another, and Enlightenment has an optional taskbar in addition to its "i-bar."

But it's not all bad - there are various innovative features, but they don't make up for the deficit in usability.

So, I'm not going to waste any more time on Enlightenment. My distro of choice is MX-Linux XFCE, because I can get a lot done with it, without having to change a lot of settings and figuring out how to change them, and it has the Snapshot tool that makes it easy to create an ISO of a configured MX-Linux installation, with all of the settings and added software. The resulting ISO can be turned into a live installation on a USB2 drive (instead of one of those warm/hot-running USB3 drives), and the resulting installation can be run on an air-gap PC, for the ultimate in security, since it retains no session-data upon shutdown. Instead, data would be saved on separate drives.
