There is a place for graphically gorgeous distro’s, but when it comes to ease and speed, Xfce is just the best for me.
I started using Xfce when Xubuntu first came out and I switched to Linux Mint Xfce when that started. I did try other distro’s when others recommended them, but always switched back to Xfce.
I have an old Eeepc that runs so smoothly on the latest Mint Xfce despite being a senior in computer years.
And that’s why it was about time I gushed about Xfce on here 😀
Xfce is the Linux I appreciate. Its not made heavy for some opinionated features addition and setups are exposed to users.
There is also a place for DEs that are more opinionated and polished out of the box, its fine. But I’m glad composable things such as Xfce still exists.
