    I just published a review of Enso OS 0.4 in German on heise.de:

    @MikeSaleem Excellent work. And you seem to be very competent in your evaluations of Linux distributions.

    Nice review David (I am a German speaker as well) and happy to see Enso getting some coverage!

    @Dodobeard
    @MikeSaleem Let's combine a couple of things and improve coverage on boutique distributions like Enso OS.

    Thank you both for taking the time to review and publish articles for Enso, it's always appreciated and great to get some feedback from different people! Keep up the great work

    Hello, with this new update is it possible to boot this distro on UEFI?
    Dodobeard
    @Dodobeard
    @amaitsu__twitter I can confirm that Enso OS 0.4 boots alright on UEFI systems

    Hi all. I am very curious to use Enso in my daily works. I like its clean apperance in live mode. I have faced a problem such as "grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to ...." while installing os. Is it possible to solve this issue?
    Dodobeard
    @Dodobeard
    @aybarse this could point to a corrupted ISO file. Check the file with md5sum and compare it with https://sourceforge.net/projects/enso-os/files/Enso-0.4/Enso-0.4.md5/download

    @Dodobeard MD5 is the same. I have tried both Etcher and Rufus to build USB. Also I have expressed EFI partition on the partition stage.

    Hi @nick92 - I downloaded Enso and was excited - look and feel is awesome! I think I'll take it as my standard Linux now. I am just having issues with internationalization as I am German. Although selecting German as default locale, time & date format, etc. there are some issues. E.g. I get 12h time format for greeter and ensodatetime panel plugin. Although I am not a GUI programmer I downloaded Enso sources and hacked around to get the time format for greeter and time panel plugin as I wanted it. The result can surely not be published, but I'd spend some time getting to know how to do it right. Do you know some xfce4 + vala programming resources I could have a look into?

    Oh no, it seems that Linux Format isn't what it used to be:

    @Dodobeard the site is working for me, is anyone else having issues with it?
    Dodobeard
    @Dodobeard
    @nick92 it currently works for me too from a location in Italy. Does not work from other locations, odd.

    When I start Enso OS 0.4, I get an error message asking me to report the error to Enso devs, and I also note that my Wifi access is disabled. Once I enable it, I connect instantly, and don't see any further error messages. Are these two issues related, and how do I adjust my settings to have wifi activated at bootup? (It is not automatic, I've rebooted many times with the same result)

    Is there a way to map keyboard shortcut to multitasking view? Tried using the command that works in terminal, but doesn't seem to work right. Was hoping to get gestures setup for this, but need a corresponding keyboard shortcut.

    Hi! Stumbled across Enso on Distrowatch, currently running the LIVE version. Your using Gala as the window manager and the button layout is on the left. None of the usual tricks I would normally use in a XFCE environment are working to move the buttons back to the right.
    zaivala
    @zaivala
    I see we get some questions but no answers. Sad, this could be a good distro if it had good support.
    I did report on Enso OS in the latest episode of Distrohoppers' Digest podcast, https://distrohoppersdigest.blogspot.com or at your favorite podcatcher.
    Nick Wilkins
    @nick92

    Apologies about the delay in my response back to you all!

    @tornnomar_twitter - there is no easy was of achieving this at the minute, because we use gala as a WM and xfce session trying to amend both is quite difficult, so you can change it to the right for gala relatively easy using dconf and setting the value in xconf is simple enough as well, but this doesn't appear to take effect with xfwm not running (which obviously it isn't) so am looking at a resolution which if I find one I'll post it on here for you and look at baking it into a future release

    @zaivala - what laptop / version of Enso are you running? I've not experienced this issue before, I run Enso on multiple devices as my main driver and I've not had an issue with WIFI not connection automatically / displaying errors

    Thank you fort including this distro on your podcast, really appreciate any publicity given to this distro, will give it a listen over this weekend

    @jveronese - Super-D is the current way to display the multi-tasking view but this should be configurable with the keyboard settings, will investigate this issue

    @nick92 I was running Enso OS 0.4 on a System76 Kudu 3.
    Nick Wilkins
    @nick92
    Can't find anything specific around networking issues on that machine, what network adapter does it have? I'm guessing this isn't an issue on other distros
    Gerald "Moss" Bliss
    @zaivala_gitlab
    At the time I had it loaded, Enso was one of 10 distros on that machine, and I wouldn't have reported the issue if I'd had it elsewhere.
    Nick Wilkins
    @nick92
    Hmm, not too sure then, we don't use anything different for network connectivity, just standard network manager / nm-applet libs

    Hello! I'm really liking the Enso OS for its clean feel. Is there any further documentation on why it's considered a "green" distribution, outside of the fact that it can run on older hardware?
    Nick Wilkins
    @nick92
    @rpsmith310 - currently yes it's just the fact that the OS is low on resource and can run on most machines, but I would like to add more elements to the OS that would make it more appealing and 'green' support into a service such as Ecosia where users would be able to plant trees or something like that off the back of searching the web

    Hi, I very like the Enso OS Desktop Design, but I'm wondering how to move the Window Control Buttons (Minimize/Maximize/Quit) to the right side of the window, because I like that better. How do you do that?
    Nick Wilkins
    @nick92
    @sectimecodex_twitter unfortunately there isn't a simple way of achieving this at the minute but will look at allowing an option for it in the next release

    Hey! I just wanted to say I am loving Enso OS, this distro brought life back to my old pc!!! The only thing I would wish for this distro is to be able to move the dock to the center, but it's just a preference, honestly it's really impressive that I use it as my main distro for everyday use.
    Nick Wilkins
    @nick92
    @Jeanpol1996 that's great to hear! You are able to move the Plank element to the centre of the screen if you need to, if you ctrl + right click on the dock -> select preferences -> change the alignment setting to centre then that should do it for you
