I run Xfce on Debian, I have Gnome 3 in reserve. And occasionally try it out. I quite like the notification area/panel under Gnome. Font clarity seems a little different (better). Workspaces are okay, plug-able drives are handled well, network manager is pretty good these days, as it now has a CLI alternative. But I don't like the application launcher. Not a fan of scrolling through loads of icons.
Nautilus has got increasingly shitty. So there's less Gnome now in my Xfce.
I tried Win 10 recently, it was horrible.
In conclusion they all have warts. But Xfce is okay in a Win95 kind of way. It could be better.
Simple UI seems to always elude distros/desktops.
- hawski 8y agoXubuntu at least has the whisker menu system, which gives you search bar in menu. Without it one can remove system menu and replace it with Xfce app-finder launcher. Then it's best to change a setting to place windows near the mouse pointer. Note: I'm currently not using Xfce at home, but I use some older version at work.
