There is a complaint against Enlightenment (and EFL) that they overuse
void pointers to swallow errors, so it's hard to squash bugs.

I haven't tried hooking up a second monitor yet. There is a popup about
no ACPI program/daemon running when enlightenment first starts but it's
been working well enough for me despite that for several years.

I don't use musescore, but I was able to launch it without problems.

I find that it does sometimes crash on me and cause me to reopen
windows. It happens mostly with nheko and with flatpaks. I've apparently
been using Enlightenment on Guix System since early 2018 so I've
probably learned to ignore any issues that still exist.
