Tangentially, what does xfce (or any other DE for that matter) bring to the table if I already use i3 and have i3 status bar configured to fit my needs?
I mean, I do have NetworkManager, Blueman, Nautilus (file explorer), so why would I need a DE? I'm wondering if I'm missing something. (Honest question)
- deelowe 3y agoProbably nothing. Xfce isn't a timing manager so these two aren't really comparable. Xfce is a lightweight alternative to gnome and kde. Probably the main competitor is lxde and from that perspective, xfce is more of a complete desktop environment than lxde is.
