Dopo anni di #KDE si torna a #xfce
Proviamo questa @ufficiozero
A prima prova fatta, xfce è veramente molto reattiva su M.2 :D a differenza di KDE. Fin'ora ho utilizzato #KDENeon , ma ogni pochino ha problemi
I don't know if this interests anyone but over on Reddit someone said they didn't think @xfce 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. https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/s/OK42cIYnCP
Meanwhile you've got Windows 11 requiring over 11 times that just as a minimal system requirement.

For anyone curious about what I ended up doing with the ubuntu server desktop environment. I ended up setting up a docker for #GameOnWhales wolf to have a minimal #xfce desktop on demand. It's snappy and working great for my audio editing workload! Thanks for all the suggestions!

xfce4-terminal is really fantastic, #Xfce 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! 
xfce4-terminal, its GUI menu also allows you to set tabs name and even color. 
With #GameOnWhales (#GOW) you could install #xfce on #Docker and connect it with a #MoonlightClient (#Gamestream technology).

Be aware, GOW is in heavy development currently there is no user management. (User by connected Device)
I like my Debian Xfce distro so much I made a wallpaper for it featuring some Linux mascots.

Currently using Xfce4 to have a working DE while I setup and configure all my apps like, Jellyfin, PiHole, and more.
I'm about to move to a laptop rather than my desktop, in the runup to a house move.
Today, I run #Debian #Stable (#bookworm) and the #XFCE desktop. That is all fine and dandy and fits my needs.
The question is whether to try something new. Be that underlying #distro or desktop.
I have tried many times to move away from #Debian. 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 #thunar from #XFCE. 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 #Debian #Stable with #XFCE.

First release!
A bash script which downloads the latest picture of the day from bing.com or apod.nasa.gov and sets it as a wallpaper.
Currently, supports XFCE, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT, i3, MATE and Cinnamon, on Linux and BSD.
#xfce is dropping a 4.21 dev release, and all I can think is… damn, we moving fast for xfce.
