Yup. Highly configurable, no surprises, and it just works. Best of the best. Cream of the crop. Top of the pops. The rat is king. 17 years of running Linux, and I still use Xfce on 2 of my 3 personal machines, and any non-headless servers I set up for work.

It's always so fast I don't benefit from the typical speed boost, that's the only downside. The only time I got a speed boost was when I got an SSD for the first time.

Windows 95 user detected. Former Mac users overwhelmingly prefer GNOME. I tried XFCE - it's just very ugly and clunky for no good reason.

Make sure you install Cortile. Xfce with tiling is beautiful.

I used to use it with i3 but at that point I'd rather just use i3 with i3bar or polybar.

To be fair I think they just are giving money to 1 guy who is working on it entirely by himself and it's a Rust + Wayland project because the single guy is a Rustoid.
I use Wayland anyways, so to me this is a win, but maybe no as much for people who dislike Wayland, who likely also dislike Rust.
>>
>>108915024
That's pretty slick. Didn't know there while a tiling mode mod you can get. Also I like the double bar + bitmap font look. What are you using, besides xfce of course?

KDE remains the only DE worth using. The other ones don’t even have extremely basic features from 25 years ago like folders generating thumbnail images of their contents. Microshart figured it out back then, but the other Linux DEs can’t do it. Pathetic.
>>
>>108915096
I'm using Cortile for the tiling. Icons are Solarized Dark Numix, font is Terminus, theme is some random Solarized theme, and I use the stock compositor but I tweak a lot of the settings.

>>108915051
Shartix is the GOAT. Xlibre and OpenRC out of the box. Whatever you say though, keep troon posting. Only the ultra woke have an issue with Artix.

Based rat DE, it's crazy the difference in performance on Ubuntu 26.04 between my dual core laptop and the i7-8700, but on XFCE you can't tell a difference in performance unless I went on handbrake and transcoded something, a non bloated DE is like a shot in the arm of performance for a PC.

brother, it's the internet. also you just unironically ended that sentence in kek. holy fuck you are retarded. a limp wristed retard faggot.

>>108915317
that's just an x11 thing and can be patched by different compositor settings or by using a different compositor all together.

I will say that I do use wayland (Sway) on my gaymer machine though. I need 400hz for my Zowie monitor (CS2) and I also have a second monitor with completely different specs.

The worst thing, to me, is that even now, xfce still doesn't show image previews in the file picker boxes. It's mind-blowing that such a basic thing has gone neglected for SO FUCKING LONG.

Anyway, yeah, seconding KDE here as a former long-time xfeces user.

LXDE is not only abandoned (save for one fork maintained by a couple of Arch users), but it's half-baked dogshit compared to Xfce.

>>
>>108920344
Everyone knows that Qt makes GTK look like a sad joke, and KDE is THE ultimate Qt desktop, so the comparison is not even remotely fair. That being said, Wayland is shovelware. Plasma devs need to slow their roll and focus on stability instead of piling on new features and changes.
>>
>>108920479
Wayland is quite obviously the future. It's practically the standard already.

>Xfce

All prefer X, and most either do not support Wayland at all, or only partially work with it after doing some very ugly hacks.

While LXQt officially supports Wayland, WM integration is hit or miss, and it ships with Openbox as the default on virtually every distro, so you can add that to the list as well.

If you don't use GNOME or KDE, Wayland is definitely not the standard.
>>
>>108920741
>all these shitty DEs that everybody is abandoning for KDE prefer X!
So what? The future of Linux is Wayland/KDE as the default. These DEs can be left behind. They currently are being left behind.

It's going to be a long time before YOTLD in that case.
>>
>>108921500
Not having basic things like DEs standardises is what's been keeping the YOTLD from arriving. Now we know that people want KDE and Wayland and distros that keep up to date, which is why Arch and its variants are dominating while crusty shit like Debian and Mint are dropping fast at distrowatch. At this point, you want Arch if you're a poweruser or CachyOS if you're a newbie. Anything else is basically contrarianslop.

Web browser might lunch a little faster, files might open a tiny bit quicker but to notice you have to be paying close attention. I could probably do a benchmark and there might be a huge difference but in regular use it's the same PC.

People want Wayland? Is that why they have to force in on everyone and work so hard to remove xorg support? Because people love it? If Wayland so good why people dont switch on their own? Only snowflakes like you who believe anything they read on reddit. You are not better than average Windows user. Imagine being on a side of greedy corporations and radical activists and still dare to call hard-working hobbyists and programmers nothing more than contrarians.

>>108923996
You absolute fucking retard, it's the exact same people maintaining X11 that work on Wayland. The reason they work so hard to remove it is because they don't want to maintain it anymore. It's useless dead code, there's literally no point in two separate code paths you have to maintain, thus doubling your workload when you could have one clean Wayland codepath.
>>
>>108924689
No it isn’t? It originally was but if you’re on X11 you should have switched over to Xlibre by now. It’s great. Xorg is abandoned so the main contributor, not a Red Hat employee, is running Xlibre. He pushed 62% of git commits for xorg.
>>
>>108924689
>You absolute fucking retard, it's the exact same people maintaining X11 that work on Wayland.
KEK these schizo trannies purposefully ignored major PRs to critical bugs in X11 and refuse to implement new features. Which is why we got XLibre in the first place. Post nose.

Yes, they do. PC gaming is booming and gaming on X11 is shit compared to on Wayland. The literal only way the fabled Year of the Linux Desktop happens is if gamers buy in. This is also why rolling release distros are dominating, they're much better for gaming.

Systemd has it's quirks but at least it simplifies resource monitoring without flaky scripts.

Wayland is just a protocol, feel free to implement your own or use xlibre or whatever. guess it comes down to "does this thing do partial rendering" or other nicheties.
