I've been using XFCE for about 15 years. It feels like nothing has changed during that time and I think that is one of its best features.

- dredmorbius 4y agoThat's a major benefit of numerous older desktops. XFCE is one of my own fallbacks (I usually prefer WindowMaker), though fvwm, twm(!), the boxes (open-, black-, flux-, hacked-, etc.), tiled WMs, etc., are all perfectly serviceable. Some may look* vaguely dated, but tend to be rock stable and blazingly fast. XWinMan is still live, I find: <http://www.xwinman.org/ http://www.xwinman.org/>
- lizknope 4y agoI'm not sure what window manager was on AIX in 1991 on an RT. Maybe it was twm. That is the first time I used Unix / X11. When I started college in 1993 our default environment was mwm but I quickly switched to vtwm and had a really cool setup. I switched to AfterStep because I loved the NeXTSTEP look and used that and WindowMaker for 10 years before moving to XFCE.
