All this bodes well for Xfce, which is already an outstanding effort. Nice to see it included in future releases of Debian as default, for some spotlight.

- hendi_ 14y agoThis is wrong, see http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20121.. http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20121.... - Most of GNOME fits onto CD#1 again (network-less installation). - LXDE and Xfce now live on separate images. GNOME was removed from CD1 due to space reasons, but this was only temporarily (they've meanwhile fixed the space issues). That GNOME didn't fit onto CD1 anymore and that Xfce would be the future was big in the news. That this change was reverted some weeks later, and no Xfce isn't even on the first CD, didn't make the news though. Guess that's not as interesting as GNOME-hate.
- dsirijus 14y agoWell, if you had submitted it, I'm sure it would get frontpaged here. I just really wasn't aware of the revert and the git commit message sounded promising.

- LukaD 14y agoAll Xfce needs now, is a compositing manager with sync to vblank support to fix those nasty Nvidia tearing issues. Unfortunately the Xfce developers seem to be ignoring this.
- quarterto 14y agoYou can use Compiz in XFCE, which has reasonably good sync to vblank support.
- LukaD 14y agoI know there are quite a few compmgrs that have sync to blank e.g, Compiz, Kwin or Mutter, but they all come with a redicoulus amount of dependencies, which is why I'm avoiding those. I also tried cairo-compmgr but it's really buggy.
