It's not just for old machines either!
I've used XFCE for years and prefer it, even on my well-equipped machines (4-core laptop w/ 32 GB RAM and a new 16-core workstation w/ 128 GB RAM).
It looks "nice enough" and is still flexible enough that I can customize it exactly how I want. I really liked Gnome back in the "good ol' days" (2.x) but I can't stand to use it anymore.

- unhammer 10y agoI want to like Gnome and Unity, but Xfce just lets me get things done with no fuss. The only issue is the name. My girlfriend pronounces "Xubuntu" like "Cthulhu".
- tbronchain 10y agoYou made me curious.. 128GB RAM on Xubuntu! Why? Which usage would require so much memory? Found 16cores quite a lot as well. Really wondering what you do?
- seabrookmx 10y agoNot the person you're replying to, but we have lots of 64gb workstations at work for database and BI work, such a testing large queries in Apache Drill. With the right query, you can use up the 64gb quite quickly. Our servers run 384gb and have 16C/32T.
