#Xfce is easier for older folks to migrate to, The Modern Desktop™ metaphor is an assault on common sense.
Xfce can be customized to look like any other desktop. KDE has too many options, often confusing. Gnome wages war against its users.
Let me know how you get on with it. I haven't found too many quality Mac OS X (i.e. not modern MacOS) themes on KDE, but I haven't looked super hard.
I used to have a fantastic OS X Leopard theme for #xfce which I cobbled together from other themes, but that was a few years back. I don't think I still have it anywhere.
Esperimenti con #FreeBSD + #XFCE:
minor consumo di RAM rispetto a #linux;
#porting dei programmi usati abitualmente;
gestore grafico delle connessioni di rete;
porting di #LocalSend, sostituibile con #FileZilla;
gestore grafico dei dispositivi #bluetooth;
possibilità di cambiare #wallpaper ( #bug di XFCE);
porting di #Onboard; si potrebbe sostituire con #xvkbd, ma non supporta tutte le lettere accentate e non consente di scriverle maiuscole;

Happy Easter everyone !
I have been hard at work reworking my DE install script from scratch, combining 4 DEs and 1 WM in one.
It does way more than the eye can see lol. You will be able to give it a try soon !
Manjaro 25.0 'Zetar' Joins Fedora and Ubuntu Release Party | @itsfoss
「 For Manjaro Xfce, there is now Xfce 4.20, which brings about refinements like an upgraded Thunar file manager that allows users to set a custom background and foreground text color for files, supports multiple power profiles, and has improved panel customization 」
Testing #AppImageLauncher, an #appimage helper for #Linux (I'm on #Manjaro #XFCE) ...
Xubuntu 25.04, "Plucky Puffin", has landed! Enjoy all the latest improvements, including Xfce 4.20 and
GNOME 48 apps on the
Ubuntu flavor you know and love.

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
WARNING !
#freebsd and #Xfce users : DO NOT upgrade pkg now, as the last pkg upgrade (to 2.1.0) introduces bugs and deletion of several ports, including XFCE dependencies. The repositories also don't have anymore the affected ports so you can't simply use pkg install.
The problem was identified and confirmed on the Freebsd forum by the team. No delay to fix AFAIK.
@xfce
It’s #CPUupgrade #SSDUpgrade #debian #btrfs #xfce night.
Wish me luck!
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 #Xfce. 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.
Rilasciata Linux Lite 7.4: Aggiornamenti e Miglioramenti per il Desktop Leggero
#LinuxLite #UnoLinux #xfce #distroLite #lite #opensurce #linux
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!
