e17 and gaming
« on: January 30, 2011, 11:07:18 AM »
okay i know that e17 uses compositing or bling with out bloat
and runs apps very fast tested a cd just now
here is the question though how does gameing go on it
compositing usually slows down native and kills wine gaming or cedega or playonlinux so does any one know how it runs on low level gaming platforms like an nvidia 7200 gpu

I've found LXDE as the best DE for gaming but I haven't tried Gnome. I install task-lxde over any other DE.

The enlightenment isos don't have ecomorph enabled, and only the light one has it installed by default. e17 is a light desktop manager and according to my experience even faster and more responsive than lxde if you use a theme that's light on cpu and gpu.
