It's feature-complete, customizable and very fast.

>muh obscurity

minimali-

>Xfeces 4.14 is going to depend on systemd

...

Oops sorry I mean

Whats a good Icon Theme for XFCE?

people aren't using i3 and nothing else?

>terminal color scheme

Where do I start? That's breddy gud

numix

This.

only downside to it is the fact there isn't as much plugins as in gnome

it just werks

Because of this

/thread

source for that?

No, (((linux))) is (((controlled))) by (((jews))) like (((Richard Stallman))) and I rather not use an (((anti white))) OS.

Respect mate
how did you do this?
link to any info please

It's Literally In The Screenshot Hahaha like Nigga Open Your Eyes Hahahaha

If by feature-complete you mean screen tearing, then sure.
Oh, that's the real problem.

No, I use KDE 'cause I'm a masochist

Hasn't screen tearing been eliminated as of the latest release?

>Thunar can't even align icons up in a consistent grid structure. Open another folder and they've moved closer.

No thanks.

fpbp

>>Screen tearing unless you use a shitty no-longer-developed compositor
compton beta updated few day ago.
>Stupidly slow development
Still better than finding a new regression every month in gnome's hell.

Nope.

Xfce is Devuan's DE, it's systemd free.

What does GNOME's development have to do with Xfce's development? Learn how to construct a valid argument, retard.

This, it just werks and it's comfy

GTK3? Learn more about a project before you try to shit on it.

Again, what does that have to do with their piss-poor slow development? MATE has gone completely over to GTK3 because they have competent developers.

Your argument, again, is faulty. Try again, retard.

me, mainly because my "rig" is shit

but yeah it's probably the most stable DE out there

Ignorant shit.

>feature complete
>lacks high dpi scaling
it was feature complete in 1999

...

You won't get any upvotes here

It's the best DE honestly. Prove me wrong.

It's like KDE but less bloated, more customisable, and without the bullshit KDE ecosystem.

Moca or Faenza

It's nice

it's the perfect DE

Is it any better than LXDE? Been using that for any system I run, tiny and unintrusive.

Why does my xfce look like shit?
I installed the arc theme, but somehow it looks like I did something wrong

>2017
>using a gtk DE

fucking kek'd bois

Have you tried restarting the session?

yes I did, it didn't change anything
I tried it with another theme (Chicago95), but it doesn't look like it should look like, too.
Am I missing something?
I changed the settings in "Appearance", "Window Manager" and "Icons"

Using it anywhere that Mac/Win people need to touch. It doesn't require much learning.

What? It's not obscure every major distro has a XFCE remix and it was default on debian for two(?) releases.

It's a matter of taste. Any non-shit PC will behave similarly with either.

Elementary xfce icons (the ones used by Xubuntu). They have 4 versions, 2 for light themes and 2 for dark ones.

The complete piece of shit laptop I use for schoolwork has an intel Celeron and 2GB of DDR2 RAM. XFCE is like the only environment I can use without being at 90% load. I'd use a better laptop but for word processing and light coding I don't really need anything more.

Free performance is free. Eye candy is for toddlers.

Hello, fellow mountain blade player? What's your favourite module?

Because it doesn't occupy 300 MB
>hurr durr storage is cheap what are you poor?
McDonald's is also cheap but you don't eat 20 burgers a day just because you can pay for them

I personally use MATE, but I wouldn't rule out XFCE

I've heard it's pretty good, though I haven't used it yet.

The volume up/down/mute/unmute always fucks up somehow on my T420. Also the brightness increase/decrease also somehow fucks up (when increasing or decreasing the entire screen flickers unbearably).

It's been gone for a while now

XFCE is not dependent on systemd.


If systemd is present, XFCE will use it. If not, then it wont.

Simples.

For which GPUs? And is Compton still mandatory?

False. Scaling is in the settings editor under xsettings --> Xft --> DPI

Nice try meme guy.

>Does anyone still use XFCE? Why?
cause it's nice and has a lot of options

What OS are you using and where did you install the theme from?

I'm running GalliumOS on my Chromebook pixel and it has xfce and compton is used as it's compositor and I don't have tearing on my machine.

arch and pacman

Compton isn't the default compositor. That's the problem.

Install gentoo then

What's the installation for devuan like?

dis tho

Because I like the modern looks

>more customisable
>less bloated

whut. KDE is superior when it comes to customizing, features, options and animations. What XFCE does better than KDE is being lightweight and use themes like numix.

Too stupid to use anything else

Honestly the only reason I use it is because I don't have the patience to deal with manually editing config files and .xml shit instead of just clicking through a GUI based settings manager

If they have a little bit weak pc and want a responsive and fast computer, XFCE might be a good alternative. That being said, if you customize it really heavily it can get slow. I use KDE because I like to have more options, shortcuts and animations. It's more my taste.

I have a shit old laptop with a 1366xCancer screen. XFCE runs very well and is very customizable, letting me have little to no wasted screen space, especially compared to gnome. If not for the screen tearing, I'd say it was pretty much perfect.

I have no idea why kde gets so much hate on Sup Forums when GNOME is praised. GNOME is the most buggy and bare basic DE.

Hey do you guys remember when everyone hated Windows Vista and Ubuntu came out and everyone thought FINALLY it would be the "year of the Linux desktop?"

And all you nerds starting switching to Linux and trying to get used to it despite the lack of games or Flash support or Photoshop or just good programs in general?

And then Windows 7 came out and it was a beautiful-looking OS and the momentum for Linux For the Masses just died out completely?

Windows 7 was the best thing Microsoft has released. All the bad things about Vista were fixed and nothing radical came out which would slow down old users.

But like all software it's not good to use an old version forever, especially using it online. With Linux you can use as new software as you want with all the bug fixes and exploit fixes. If you use Photoshop as your source of income you might want to stick with Windows just in case, but Photoshop can be used via Wine now. I don't care about people who pirate it, they had no actual right to use it anyway.

As for games Linux is a faster system when comparing a game that was made for Windows to a game that was made for Linux. It's what should be used because it's better but game developers go for the biggest system to get more players. Then they rely on hardware manufacturers to cover their ass by coming up with faster hardware. Of course hardware manufacturers should put out better and better stuff but they could already get more performance out of their hardware by focusing on Linux.

One thing that's slowing down progress is mindless Sup Forums idiots loudly defending a commercial company for some reason, like it defines them and completes them as a person. It's never a good idea to stick to old and familiar if you want progress at the same time. If games would be made for Windows and Linux but you get more performance in Linux then it would be the objectively better system and only people afraid of change would not make the switch. Tons of people are like this, they would just come up with excuses why Windows is still better, even if it's not.

In Linux you can change practically anything once you find out there's something even better out there now (file system, DE, X to Wayland...). That's why it won't slow down progress.

installing compton is easy, all you need to do is add a one liner to your startup scripts. Name one DE,that doesn't require minor tweaking.

DUAL BOOT, leave your partition enough room for gaymen and PS

fast, many themes, it looks beautiful, customizable, didn't crush like cinammon and is not slow like KDE

Papirus, especifically ePapirus.

In compositor settings atleast on intel cards there's a tick for sync to vblank.

Oh hey a fellow GalliumOS user! Yeah I don't have any tearing issues with it either on my Acer Chromebook 11
