^ That's reminiscent of what, 1997? A bit later? A long time ago.

Anyways, Escape from New York is in my top three B-films, followed by The Omega Man and Godzilla vs Destroyah. I pity the person who can't enjoy some good schlock.

Watching Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (ゴジラ・モスラ・キングギドラ大怪獣総攻撃, Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Gidora: Daikaijū Sōkōgeki, 2001) now. First 2 acts suck, third act rocks. Godzilla's eyes are milky throughout the film, like he's about to shed.

^ Oh yeah!

Quick review of your Enlightenment setup and overall impression of the DE, and are you on Wayland?

That's a nice desktop. Drop shadow on the window looks great, and I like the panels and the standard blue highlight color on them.

21:35? What time is that in South Carolina? ;P Great font, please share.

That particular setup in Enlightenment (E25) on Xorg. I specifically created the Void Enlightenment ISO so I could see how E was running on Wayland these days. Worked pretty well on Wayland; was having some issues with the mouse disappearing but the graphics on this laptop (00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity 2 [Radeon HD 7520G]) are a bit old.

Enlightenment on Xorg is running fine. It can run a bit hot, but again, that usually involves graphics or watching the baseball highlights. I'm not that much of a fan of the aesthetics (especially having the wallpaper in the pager! can't seem to change that any more), but I did manage to get the Bodhi Linux themes from their git page and the newer ones load. So some more modern theming options there; otherwise E is a PITA to theme.

So, it runs well in both X and Wayland, and is stable enough to use now. If you don't mind the aesthetics it's a good DE. Plenty of configuration options that can be changed from the Settings menus. Got pipewire working easy enough; used the setup menus to load pipewire on startup (same process as adding a startup application in Xfce4).

21:35 = 9:35 PM

The font is Fira (Sans, Mono, Code) - https://fonts.google.com/?query=fira
Probably late for Boron, but I recommend the fira set be included in Carbon. I would imagine they are in the Debian repos.

Try and keep dry the next couple of days. What's the coast like now? You have Franklin offshore and Idalia heading our way.

Edit - E25 on Wayland

You'll get Idalia worse than I will in Port St. Lucie, FL, unless the storm loops back around and hits the east coast of Florida, which is a possibility. Prepare for wet ground.

Thanks for the review, I'm going to try it on Ubuntu. Hoping this 2 year old tutorial will work...

BTW, hurricane shots over Florida are always great. The 300 mile/483 kilometer storm seen from the ISS...

Thanks for the hint! I had a quick look, but it seems only fira-code is available in Debian.

Also "This font is expected to work in most text editors but won't work in most (especially VTE-based) terminal emulators" - I'll give it a try in my text editor.

Shout out to IntelOne Mono, an excellent font...

Yipes, no! PPA refuses to provide a valid signing key, but Enlightenment is in the repo, so 'sudo apt install enlightenment' onto Xorg.

Yipes, no! It's a buggy, horrible mess! No touchpad GUI and no default *.conf file to at least get thing rolling? No brightness or volume keyboard controls? The Super key does NOTHING OOTB? Wiped Enlightenment after twenty minutes, I was not enlightened.

I did like the panel and the login sound.

A bit over stated. Some issues with Hindi glyphs in VTE terminals but other than that they work.

Fira Code and Fira Mono look good in xfce4-termnal, mate-terminal, and sakura; laptop or desktop. I also use fira code in sublime text editor.

Xfce4-terminal and sublime:

Just installed and tested: firacode looks fine in lxterminal too.

Personally, I think I prefer Hack, especially the letter 'r', but that's just individual taste, and whatever you get used to...

Yes. I'm Florida Ma... er, Florida Godzilla Karen Man, now. Truly scary. I eat manatees for breakfast, gator for lunch, and osprey for dinner, then I shoot guns at the Interstate for entertainment. It's a simple life, similar to Walden Pond, but heavier on the Don Henley part.
