Enlightenment? What in the . . .
Enlightenment, also known simply as E, was initially developedbefore even 1996 but the current iteration of the window manager(the Environment as we know it today) started with the version0.17.0 which was in development for 12 years. Enlightenment 17 asit was called wasn’t packaged in openSUSE until a little after it’sstable release in 21 December 2012

A Slightly different environment . . .Desktop Environment vs. Desktop Shell
Desktop Environment
It is an implementation of the Desktop metaphor, made of a bundleof applications running on top of the base Operating System(OS).which share a common Graphical User Interface (GUI), a commonlook and feel and are working together to bring a complete experienceto the user.
Window Manager
A window manager is system software that controls the placementand appearance of windows. It usually works in conjunction with aDesktop Environment (and is thus designed around one).

Desktop Shell
A Desktop Shell is something inbetween the two.It provides more than just a window manager but not enough to beconsidered a full fledged Desktop Environment.
