Name one bad thing about it. >protip: you can't

1. not tiling
2. to resize windows you have to grab it the one pixel wide window border

(still using it daily)

Can I use openbox instead.

thx oww-pee
I really cant

>>60370367
No krunner.

>>60370367
KDE exists.

>>60370446
1. there is a stickness setting so youre able to easily place them alongside
2. there is a shortcut for it in window manager settings

Screen tearing

>tfw not using compton
why?

>>60370367
>still gtk2-based
Fortunately they are porting it to gtk3, but it will probably not be released until the next century.

>>60370678
compton is not near as good as KWin compositor or Mutter.

>>60370367
It's not LXDE with openbox.

>>60371009
But it is more lightweight, so fits Xfce better, although you can run Kwin with Xfce too if you want.

I love XFCE but I'm thinking about a move to KDE.

It's dead.

>>60371153
Nah, it is just finished, nothing to do.

>>60371193
Yeah, no. It's still on gtk2. At this pace, they'll start writing wayland compositor in 2030, when debian will be the only distro with at least some xorg support left.

>>60371230
Wayland won't take off anytime soon. Sadly X is good enough, so people won't bother to switch, just like when it comes to switching from Windows or macOS or something else to Linux.

>>60371106
LXDE is easier to rice and uses the powerful openbox windows manager.

>>60371261
I like fluxbox more, and used to run it as my WM for Xfce.

>>60371253
Gnome already defaults to wayland, plasma will catch up by the next year, sway is already good enough, all other DEs will either catch up or start slowly dying in a few years. If nothing changes, xfce will be the one to die.

>>60371390
Joking aside I was actually wondering, what if I use Kwin with Xfce, would that make Xfce run on Wayland natively?

>>60370367
Ugly

>>60371379
What advantages does XFCE give you over LXDE?

>>60371433
No, at least not until they move to gtk3. The panel and everything else xfce would have to run in xwayland since gtk2 doesn't support wayland.

>>60371462
in my experience the panel is more customizable and has more applets to extend its functionality.

>>60371463
They're on their way on migrating to gtk3 but the process is very slow.

>>60371463
Fair enough, but I honestly don't think wayland is catching on in the next 5 years. That is enough time for Xfce devs to finish porting it to Gtk3.

>>60370367
Thunar doesn't have folder specific views, that's pretty much the only thing left wrong with it since they fixed the crash on rename shit.

>>60371462
Better panel, more plugins, looks better.

>>60370367
Desktop environments don't fucking matter

>>60371261
You can also use openbox with xfce if you want.

>>60371530
Porting to gtk3 would only mean that it can launch natively in wayland. It probably won't work properly because wayland handles all the window stuff differently. And if they want to use their wm, they'll have to write a compositor too.

>>60370367
It's a good DE but even the best DE is total shit in comparison to any WM.

>>60371592
One of the devs talked about slight design changes because of Gtk3, he migh have been talking about it because of what you wrote.

>>60370446
just change your window borders.

>>60370581
>2. there is a shortcut for it in window manager settings
I can't find it. That one pixel to resize is annoying as fuck.

>>60370455
yes

>>60371991
Window manager (or something like that) and keyboard tab. You can change it to your taste.

>>60372100
yeah ok, I can give it a keyboard shortcut, but that's not the same thing. The only real way to change it is to have huge borders taking up space.

Yeah, you start it on keyboard. This way you can resize terminal even if it's don't have any decoration.

>>60371641
Making your own DE is still a DE.

alt + right mouse button
