Nah, I watch most of the WM-related threads because it's more interesting to me than I am willing to admit in public life. XFCE gets trotted out generally any time GNOME, KDE, MATE or Cinnamon does, but especially in the case of the former two. There's usually a cadre of MATE and Cinnamon reps as well, of which you might as well consider yourself at least an honorary member at this point.
StumpWM, i3 and dwm are also commonly brought up contenders as peak desktop Linux.
If it doesn't apply to you, it doesn't apply to you.
- ceocoder 6y agoI was perhaps a bit unclear in my post - I use Cinnamon and am thankful to those who made it, however I don't think that or XFCE or MATE or KDE are the "height of desktop experience", they get the job done. In my opinion height of desktop experience was Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - I still miss workspaces, and TotalSpaces2 is a valiant effort but less likely to work with each new update.
- michaelmrose 6y agoMaybe i3 wouldn't be peak desktop Linux if other environments realized that virtual desktops extending across all monitors is bad design.
- wayneftw 6y agoI haven’t seen an actual complaint about what’s wrong with XFCE. Simple minimalism is certainly preferable to whatever macOS can be described as by many, sure. I don’t see a problem with that.
