LXQt if you want something with less features, Plasma if you want more features. They're both performant.
- heresie-dabord 2y agoIt's absurd that people who recommend "light" Linux distros mention DEs that are much heavier than LXQt and LXDE. As for Wayland, I use it on a Raspberry Pi 4 (Raspbian xwayland). It works well enough, but there is some kind of bug that causes xwayland to fill the swap space at almost 100%. When this happens, I find it necessary to close applications to reduce the swap usage.
- mikae1 2y agoWhat do you mean by heavy though? Plasma is feature heavy but definitely not memory heavy.
- kelnos 2y ago> And, no Client Side Decorations. XFCE died for me the day they adopted it. Inconsistency-hell ensued. Not sure what you mean. We have CSDs available for people who like it, but they can be turned on and off. If you're talking about random GTK apps that run on Xfce, there's not much we can do about that; we don't set app policy. That's one of the nicer things about Wayland, though: there's a way for the compositor to tell applications "I'll draw the decorations". On X11 there's no protocol for that, only a way for an app to tell the window manager it wants to draw its own, without a way for the WM to say "no, don't do it".
