You mean xfce? KDE is bloated. Yes it’s still bloated even if Valgrind says it has no memory leaks.

- saubeidl 1y agoxfce is nice, too, but aren't they still on gtk3?
- kardianos 1y agoI also run Linux using XFCE. But some of my Clients use windows and were just "forced" to upgrade their hardware and use Windows 11.
- reorder9695 1y agoKDE is bloated, but coming from Windows10 it feels very familiar but with all of Windows' extra shite (ads/tracking/sign in/fucking onedrive) chopped out. I couldn't be happier with it to be honest. [edit]: I forgot to mention as well, at least on arch you dont have to install the (I forget the package name exactly) kde applications package off pacman, if you don't install it you'll need to install dolphin and a few other things but it really cuts down the bloat.
- jasperry 1y agoYes, this. I'm a long time XFCE user but when I got a beefier machine I switched to KDE, and unlike XFCE it manages the hardware thoroughly enough (sleep/brightness/network/audio) that I don't have to manually hack anything. I tolerate the bloat for that reason. I disabled all the kwallet and pim stuff though, that was a mess.
- dartharva 1y agoYou mean Cinnamon? XFCE is ugly as hell and breaks a lot of things.
- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoDoes it matter when my current uptime is 51 days?
- int_19h 1y agoIt's bloated if you judge it by the standards of the WinXP era. And I'm not saying that's unfair, but realistically speaking, it's not an issue for any modern PC.
