>>62156681
Look at LXDE. It's ugly as fuck. Now jump one level up in resource usage and you've got XFCE, which resembles Windows 7 enough to not bleed your eyes out. THAT'S WHY IT'S GOOD

>>62156681
it jus werks!
srsly tho I find it to be very functional and and nice looking without using too many resources

I can make xfce look however I want it to look, I love that. My current fetish is retro os 9. I have this same exact setup on my thinkpad.

>>62156681
It's very good and easy to use. It's the only DE that lets you make launchers to specific files by default, without having to fuck around the terminal and/or config files.

>>62156681

yeh xfce is meme

its ugly and i cant tell any performance issues when i just use cinnamon on old / gimped hardware

I used Xfce and a few themes to make the desktop for my ThinkPad look like a cross between Windows 9x and CDE. Looks nice, and stays out of the way.

>>62156973
Yea, this.
Cinnamon runs just fine off 1gb of ram.

>>62156681
Yes. I use it.

And I've been (ab)using it for years and years.

What I like most about XFCE is that it DOES NOT BOTHER ME or try to nanny me and it functions like I expect it to and it does what it is supposed to do and nothing else.

Liek, I tried GNOME 3. Clicked a terminal icon and got a terminal. Then I wanted a second terminal so I clicked the terminal icon again and it took me back to the same terminal. Like wtf?And then there was this whole "you can't use more than one window at a time" "design". I very quickly gave up and went back to XFCE.

I should mention that I have a bit of a bias since I'm used to it and therefore have a very easy time using it while I don't know the alternatives very well. Perhaps someone who never used XFCE wouldn't like it.

xfce is outdated garbage and enemy of free software

Second best would be Openbox.

It's great. It's highly customizable and very lightweight. I use it on all my Linux machines.

>>62158305
You don't know how to rice though. That looks like garbage. First step on ricing is making a sexy terminal colour scheme. You can't even do that.

Post your terminal colour scheme, please.

>>62156681
I would if it wasn't for xfwm being a screentearing piece of shit and it actually had HiDPI support that isn't wonky as shit. It's essentially perfect outside of that.

>>62156696
What's the plugin that displays the menu on panel please?

>>62157194
Like you can't change the default behavior in GNOME of clicking on the terminal icon.

Probably TopMenu.

>>62161925

Xfwm4 improved its built-in compositor to fix tearing in the git master branch, waiting for release.
It's being ported to GTK3 for high DPI support.

Stop spreading your misinformation, retard.

Biggest issue with xfce is its development. They take too much time to release new stuff.
But overall, it's a great DE for someone who wants a light DE with some customization

It's literally an outdated and shitty GNOME. KDE and Xfce are best DEs.

It's literally an outdated and shitty GNOME that is still in development.
Xfce is just outdated and shitty.
And KDE...are fucking serous?

>>62165696

It's more customizable and more usable. You can't seriously say that anything based on GNOME is good.

I can make a launcher to any file very easily, whereas anything GNOME based requires you to fuck around with config files or terminal.
Both have screen tearing, Xfce's can be fixed without causing graphical glitches.
Both are equally "light", Xfce is more functional and thus beats it. Same reason why LXDE is shit.
It's much more user friendly overall.

>>62166024
>I can make a launcher to any file very easily, whereas anything GNOME based requires you to fuck around with config files or terminal.
Don't know what you are talking about. I can make a launcher from any file in MATE too.
>Both have screen tearing, Xfce's can be fixed without causing graphical glitches.
Never had this problem to begin with. But I use normies Ubuntu MATE with Compiz where this issue could've been already solved by devs of the distro.
>Both are equally "light", Xfce is more functional and thus beats it. Same reason why LXDE is shit.
Agree about LXDE but how is Xfce more functional?
>It's much more user friendly overall.
Got to agree on this one. Some things in MATE weren't obvious in the beginning.

Like Dash to Panel on GNOME?

I tried Dockbarx and its shit.

It's almost as if I've tried a thousand times and the piece of shit still tears like crazy.

What's the point of XFCE when we have Cinnamon?

use bspwm you cuck.
way more lightweight and good default keybindings.

cinnamon doesn't really work well on anything but linux mint when you customize it

>>62171484
LXQt will mature in a year or two, obsoleting Xfce, Mate, Cinnamon and whole Gtk ecosystem.

>>62171626
i tried lubuntu next and i found lxqt to be very ugly compared to xfce on xubuntu, and i can't be bothered ricing. hope that gets sorted out.

>>62165352
Don't reply to me or my threads ever again.

>>62171475

>>62156724
And lxde gets active development while xfeces has been dead since gtk3

>>62172953
but GTK3 is shit though

>>62169467
why bother with xfce if you're using i3

>>62171215
Because cinnamon is shit outside mint. It's also GNOME based which means it's heavy and very not customizable. Xfce is definitely easier to use and get used to.

>>62171626
>LXQt will mature in a year or two
ThIs is exactly what everybody was saying a year or two ago.

>>62156696
