Hahaha, really? It's been my desktop since I started using Linux in the 2000s. It's great! It presents windows, has a small set of high quality built in applications (file browser, application launcher, etc), has a big and flexible set of keyboard shortcuts, and other than that, it just gets out of your way.
Other DEs like to shove themselves in your way -- put your mouse in the corner of the screen? Something shows up! Hit a wrong keyboard button? Something shows up! Open the application launcher? It's fullscreen, baby! Do something to a window? Here's some jiggly wiggly animations!
XFCE just does what it needs to do, quietly, with no fuss. It's fantastic.

Well, I guess I'm just proving your point :)
- keepamovin 3y agoHm, nah it's good. I like to use the best tool that's simplest! Sounds like xfce does the job :) Now I just need hardware to run it on local. Can you suggest some? M1 ARM is out...so what should I get?
- dsr_ 3y agoI have it running very nicely on an ASRock 4x4 R1000M, which is a fairly cheap NUC-ish sized box with a Ryzen R1606G - 2c4t, from 26 to 3.5GHz. Decent 4K desktop graphics via amdgpu.
