    XFCE has convinced me to switch to Linux. Xubuntu has a nice elementaryOS-like theme by default and apps from the DE are extremely fast.

    I really don’t understand the hate it gets. Maybe because the defaults aren’t that good?

      Who is hating Xfce? Besides the “lightweight” DE crowd.

      The project doesn’t have a lot resources, so it’s behind on things. They do great work for what they have though.

      It doesn’t have so many essential modern features, kde has hdr, proper fractional scaling, mixed refresh rate displays and is much more secure thanks to wayland, plus the performance hit is tiny these days.
