Rivermonster<p>I don't know if this interests anyone but over on Reddit someone said they didn't think <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@xfce" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>xfce</span></a></span> was lightweight anymore, and I said I think it's just most distros will add a bunch of stuff to it, I conducted a test and it came up 350 MB or RAM at idle. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/s/OK42cIYnCP" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">reddit.com/r/xfce/s/OK42cIYnCP</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p>Meanwhile you've got Windows 11 requiring over 11 times that just as a minimal system requirement.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a></p>
Rivermonster<p>I also definitely don't think I'm ready to fully switch over either way, unless it's something with touch, like this aforementioned machine, I'm still into the blank slate slow and steady of it all with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xfce</span></a>. Wayland progress is slow and the weather plugin breaks more than it should (which is ideally never) but I don't have to be afraid of release B being radically different to release A like what happened from GNOME 2 to 3.</p>

daltuxAbsolutely! While <code>xfce4-terminal</code> is really fantastic, <a href="https://snac.daltux.net?t=xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xfce</a> as a whole stands out for empowering users. Compared to other GTK-based environments like GNOME or, perhaps, Cinnamon (which I’ve used less extensively), Xfce delivers <b>unmatched granular control</b> across its tools. It’s a philosophy of flexibility! 🐁🎛️<br>
