    these blog posts are always just the repeating well-known comparision talking points (xfce: light, other: not). just like hundred other blogs.

    Are live boot screenshots and RAM usage all there is about these DEs?

      Well, other differences usually go very deep into the details and are ultimately a matter of taste. It’s certainly not the case that all of these have a unique selling point, because well, they’re not products trying to sell themselves.

      Having said that, these are the high-level differences as I see them:

      Cinnamon:

      • Very Windows-like (aesthetics and keyboard shortcuts)
      • one polished workflow
      • covers relatively many exotic usage scenarios relatively well

      MATE:

      • relatively lightweight
      • one polished workflow

      Xfce:

      • relatively lightweight
      • very modular and customizable

      i would say the target reader is people who haven’t read all the other hundred other blogs
