What's the best Linux DE and why it is XFCE? ...No, really,

>>55147338
Xfce is fine. It's simple, lightweight, customizable, and feature-complete. And the project has the discipline to recognize that and not refactor everything or pile on features just to be doing something.

gnome flashback is pretty nice.

gnome 3 isn't bad itself either, i don't get the hate desu

>>55147338
Xfce would be fine but thunar looks ugly. The whiskermenu is from 2007. Xfwm4 is from 1990 with no decent desktop effects.

However it makes an ideal DE for portable devices

Good linux DEs/WMs:
- Gnome 2

I prefer GNOME, you don't have to waste time to make it nice cuz is already nice.
