I remember running Enlightenment as a DM for my pc long ago and loved it’s looks and animated splash screen. Back then I found other DM to be looking like old stuff trying to look like windows. But E was beautiful and smooth. Just not the most developed as a system management ( it was mostly just a DM and no proper system configuration tools )
I don’t know where it’s at now but I kind of miss the styling.
Before ESD? I don’t recall. Spittle and prayers, I think. I vaguely recall having sound on my Sound Blaster 16 in my 486DX2, but… that was a long time ago.

E was black magic. The things it could do with such little hardware were mind blowing. And the ESD became the de facto sound standard before ALSA.
Out of interest, after alsa it was pulse and now it’s turning to pipewire?
What was the standard before ESD?
