XFCE is like the Goldilocks DE for me. Not too New Age (Gnome 3) not too much (KDE) and not too little (tiling WM). It’s not the prettiest thing but if something bothers me I know I can tweak it and be happy.
Thanks team for keeping some of us sane!!
- lottin 7y agoIt looks good as well, with a good theme. The default one just isn't very visually appealing.
- stallmanite 7y agoYou've perfectly articulated what I love about my current window manager (LXDE). Going to give XFCE another spin based on your comment.
- karmakaze 7y agoI've used both Xfce and more recently tried LXDE. The latter was fine but more minimal and a bit lighter on resources. Now with the upcoming LXQt it might be a good time to switch back to Xfce to avoid the transitional pains.
