Yes, absolutely. There's nothing more annoying than theming systems that don't allow an instant preview. Nobody wants to install a whole new theme just to decide if they even like it in the first place. Not to mention, actually tr

Yeah, xfce is as close to an ideal desktop experience on Linux as it gets. A competent desktop environment really doesn't need that much. Post-2010ish Gnome and kde are like some sort of sick joke. The fact that there are people who ac
