KDE or plasma whatever its name, is basically unchanged from 1995 UI philosophy. The closest we can have today in 2019.

- a_e_k 7y agoI run XFCE (via Xubuntu) on my home desktop for the same reason. The lightness is a bonus.
- mappu 7y agoGoing off on a tangent, but KDE is lighter than XFCE these days. Or at least https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/10/23/bold-prediction-kde-will-steal-the-lightweight-linux-desktop-crown-in-2020/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/10/23/bold-... has been making the rounds.
- agumonkey 7y agoVery interesting news both regarding KDE perf and XFCE team shrink. I hope they can get some workforce.
- a_e_k 7y agoThanks, I hadn't seen that. That's quite interesting. I'd ended up settling on XFCE aound the time of the Gnome 2 / Gnome 3 / Unity schism. At the time, XFCE had felt a bit snappier than KDE. I've lately been thinking about giving KDE a try again, so this is good to know.
