You could say she added some Polish to it.

I'll see myself out.

Okay, not a Linux bug in the kernel, but one that has existed in the Enlightenment window manager E16 since 2006

😐

I imagine her being annoyed as a baby but being taken from the computer by her parents. Thus a lifelong resentment of computers and Linux had formed until she finally was able to overcome it and fix the bug.

After digging through the codebase, Kamila traced the freeze back to the way E16 handled overly long file names. When a window title was too long and needed to be truncated, the algorithm responsible for doing so had no iteration limit. So it would spin indefinitely, locking up the desktop entirely.

Ah, no wonder it went unfixed for so long, most people would just rename stuff and carry on

POLAND MENTIONED

Why are the polish kicking so much Foss ass in the past years?

Man, i remember when I first manged to properly install enlightenment on SUSE. I knew almost nothing about linux. It was just pure trial and error from dependencies to proper drivers. I felt so proud when I finally got it working.

I wouldn't call a de bug a linux bug. Enlightenment is so niche at this point I don't think anyone would have even found the bug if not for her.

I can’t scroll this site without getting floating popups for Comcast in Spanish. It’s so annoying having to turn on Adblock for the shit tier sites

Anyone know what that theme is? https://itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/04/desktop-e16-2.png

and if there's a KDE equivalent...

Enlightenment was always intriguing to me but man was it buggy and a hog on my “i found this lil guy in a skid” class computers. Has it gotten better ?
