One of the advantages that users of GNU / Linux, is the possibility of choosing which Desktop Environment to choose depending on our tastes or simply according to the resources that our computer has. Ok, we already knew this, as we also knew that there are many alternatives to revive that old computer that you can have lying in a corner.
DTS (Equinox Desktop Environment) It is another alternative that we can count on from now on, and although I have just discovered it, it has more than 5 years of development, recently reaching version 2.0. I have not been able to try it yet (and I doubt that as I am on time I can do it), but if you are interested, take a look at Installation Manual, which from what you see, is quite simple.
EDE It has a peculiarity, and that is that unlike other Desktop Environments or Window Managers, it has not been developed using Gtk Toolkityou, but FLTK (Fulltick), which is nothing more than a Toolkit based on C ++ for Unix, Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS, and supports 3D graphics using OpenGL. FLTK is designed to be small and modular, and includes an interface builder called FLUID with which we can create applications in minutes.
As I have not personally tested it, I leave you some screenshots found on your website of how it looks. If the appearance could be improved a little, it would be excellent to use it:
It reminds me of the Windows 95 desktop, it should be tried.
Good post!
True, just when I saw it I thought of Windows 95. It is not to my liking, but for low-resource systems, it seems adequate.
The environment does not prevail at least for me, I always like to have it tuned, but for low-resource PCs I think it would be great for them, with everything in the world Gnu / Linux there is something for everyone
Could you put it in a comparative table next to XFCE and LXDE?
I just tried it and I don't like it.
For old PCs it may be fine, but for now I continue with my LXDE + Fluxbox
Is it my imagination or does it have an air of LXDE?
although it looks simpler.
if the desktop consumes at least half that LXDE maybe it will become my favorite desktop system I like to be minimalist or as my girlfriend once told me animalistic XD.
LXDE is a good desktop environment, tuned will surprise you!

it looks interesting, although I doubt that I can unseat openbox + tint2 + wbar + conky ...
you have to try it !!
That is a winning combination 😉, but you have to give this environment a chance.
It has all the earmarks of being a very viable option to do what we jokingly call some friends, Computer Necromancy to rescue that abandoned team and give it a second chance.
It can also be an alternative to openbox although as I said Genesis vargas has a high bar.
By the way, I was pleased to read you again elavAfter reading the previous entry it has been a pleasant surprise.
In this blog they have only dedicated themselves to publishing news, no articles that serve to learn a little about GNU / Linux.
We have put together quite a few tutorials, you should take a look at them, because I know you will find many of these interesting.
For example, if you are a newbie or interested in Linux, here are several links to tutorials: http://paste.desdelinux.net//4424
And here I leave you the complete list with lots of tutorials and tips from us: https://blog.desdelinux.net/repositorio-de-tips/

And also, a few days ago we put tutorials on iptables, DDoS, now on LAMP, etc. etc. I don't want to sound like an edge (as the Spanish say) but, I don't understand why you say / think this O_O.
I don't really know how many articles you've read on our blog, but what you're saying is not at all true. We have published many articles whose objective is to teach things.
fltk is what Tinycore uses, could you ever talk about that distro, quite particular
mmm I don't like it looks like windows 98 🙁
Precisely those who feel EDE similar to win 95/98 are not wrong, the intention was to create something similar. However I have tested the environment on a really "old" machine (amd k6-2, 128mb ram, 10gb hard disk), and I have had better results with window managers than with EDE. I mean JWM (joe's windows manager) and Ice-WM, which do very well with 64 mb of ram. From a pentium 3 and 128 mb of ram it is already possible to run fluently the well-known fluxbox, openbox and LXDE. However, at least with this amd k6-2, EDE has worked very slow for me, and was not very intuitive in handling. My advice: try the vectorlinux light distro that comes with jwm and icewm and compare it to ede, and you will see.
A big hello to everyone!
