RivermonsterI don't know if this interests anyone but over on Reddit someone said they didn't think <a href="https://floss.social/@xfce" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@xfce</a> 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">https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/s/OK42cIYnCP</a> Meanwhile you've got Windows 11 requiring over 11 times that just as a minimal system requirement. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnu</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xfce</a>

RivermonsterI 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">#Xfce</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.

archangelic in spaceFor anyone curious about what I ended up doing with the ubuntu server desktop environment. I ended up setting up a docker for <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/GameOnWhales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameOnWhales</a> wolf to have a minimal <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xfce</a> desktop on demand. It's snappy and working great for my audio editing workload! Thanks for all the suggestions!

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 unmatched granular control across its tools. It’s a philosophy of flexibility! 🐁🎛️

Drew Towler 🇵🇭I've been stoicly enduring all the aesthetic and functional frustrations of the standard Raspberry Pi OS <a href="https://mas.to/tags/pixel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pixel</a> desktop, but enough is enough.Today I installed the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#XFCE</a> desktop on a fresh Pi OS Lite SD card, and after a couple of hours of customisation, I can safely say it's several orders of magnitude better, and just as fast.

Jérôme Herbinet - FLOSS sower🔥 To all users of Zorin OS ‘Lite’: this lightweight version using the <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XFCE</a> desktop environment will no longer be developed or maintained beyond Zorin OS 17 and 18 (end of support and maintenance in June 2029). 💡 2 solutions: ➡️ migrate to the Core, Pro or Education versions of Zorin OS ➡️ change GNU/Linux distribution 📝 The official reasons for this decision are detailed in this article: <a href="https://help.zorin.com/docs/getting-started/getting-zorin-os-lite/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://help.zorin.com/docs/getting-started/getting-zorin-os-lite/</a> #️⃣ <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/LogicielsLibres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LogicielsLibres</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/ZorinOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZorinOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/Zorin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zorin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zaclys.com/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> 👋 <a href="https://colter.social/@nicolasvivant" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nicolasvivant</a>

Mason Pines<a href="https://root.moose.ca/@chris" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chris</a> I mostly want to do stuff, so I'm leaning towards sticking with what I have for now.I have tested <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trixie</a> in a VM, and there were some stability issues, but that was a few weeks back and some transitions were still happening at the time. I may take another stab at it now that the Transition and Toolchain Freeze has happened.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/thunar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thunar</a> is a great file manager that gets out of your way, is performant, and is easy to add custom commands to. It's a big draw when compared to FMs in other desktop environments.My <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xfce</a> setup is functional and pretty, with consistent theming and icons across GTK and QT apps.So, in all likelihood, I will stay with what I know and think again once <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trixie</a> is released in late summer.

Mason PinesI'm about to move to a laptop rather than my desktop, in the runup to a house move.Today, I run <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Stable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stable</a> (<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bookworm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookworm</a>) and the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XFCE</a> desktop. That is all fine and dandy and fits my needs.The question is whether to try something new. Be that underlying <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/distro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#distro</a> or desktop.I have tried many times to move away from <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a>. But the stability of stable is difficult to argue with. I have also tried many different desktops. Be that Gnome, KDE, or Cinnamon. All of these exhibit problem areas, for me at least.With Gnome, the Files application is so limited that I end up installing <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/thunar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thunar</a> from <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XFCE</a>. Plus, I have to add a handful of extensions to make things more readily useful to me.With Cinnamon, it's largely okay except for the file browser again. Too slow.KDE looks pretty, and some of the applets are cool. But stability suffers.Should I stay with the tried and tested, or is there something out there that has all the features and stability of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Stable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stable</a> with <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XFCE</a>.
