Why in the frick would you use software that is worse for more bloat

no xfce does all that

xfce does that too

you dont know how to use it you trash

sure I'll give you that but that's the only reason not to

also wrong

I agree Xfce is literally the bee's knees

Try fluxbox friend

that's the one thing lxde does not do is tiling I will give you that one too

but clearly ratpoision is the best tiling de

I meant to type xfce and not lxde dang dyxlesia

Needing to lie to make your point is sad.

My KDE Neon installation idles at under 500 MB RAM usage. Doesn't matter that much though, since I'm not using a toaster.

I never unerstood why people use kde

I just use compton as my compositor and call it a day. I love xfce. Does everything I need.

I just finished setting up Xfce on Debian 9 actually. Haven't used it in a long while. You can tweak to look pretty decent indeed. It has a fair amount of options, and overall it feels complete. It's a simple DE though, but it can do the job for a lot of people.

no 4k scaling support
still no gtk3 support

Quite literally same user. I upgraded from Debian 8. Your setup is fine and all but why did you install Chrome?

Sounds like you haven't used KDE in forever or you don't know what you're doing whatsoever.

Well I was going to settle with Chromium, but I had a problem with it adopting some GTK scrollbars from a theme I installed which didn't look nice. Chrome didn't have that problem. Also Chrome can use Netflix in case I need to use that.

please don't spread misinformation, and how the fuck can you make it look like KDE you retard? Putting a start menu on bottom left doesn't mean it is KDE

Nice meme you meme loving fuck.

I use LXDE on my occasional use debian box and it's ok. I don't need anything fancy. Why should I switch to Xfce?

idk Xfce feels incomplete actually but I keep coming back to it a lot. Its so lightweight that I can install it in a minute and be using my computer the next minute. Its great as a daily and a backup but the xfce4panel bugs fuck me over

I mostly use Xfce to avoid tree menus like LXDE's and Mate's menus that become a clusterfuck pretty quickly. LXDE feels more like a shell than a DE compared to Xfce. Try it for yourself

>all that WHITE
Just fuck my eyes right up when it's dark senpai.

>frick

Are you 7 If you don't want to miss then don't cuss no need for this replacement shit

look at the clock, its dark and its fine my guy. If it wasnt enough
>#FFFFFF
>blue
but it looks fine if I turn down the brightness (laptop) and I occasionally use redshift as well

MATE can not do nearly the customization that xfce can do you is the one who is fooling us don't pretend

No high dpi scaling

install Xubuntu+i3wm, runs great aside from screen tearing

Fuck it, I give up going back to XFCE+i3 and Xorg.

are you me? (user you're replying to)
this is archbang so systemd-dependant DEs like GNOME are off the table

Wayland was nice but its carriers are trash

Turns out that it was defaulting to wayland and firefox doesn't play nice on wayland+nivido

Why would I install Xubuntu you corporate botnet shill? I know you like sucking Shuttleworth' south-african dick.

Well I've read on their github page that sway will be moving from Weston to its own version of the compositor. There was another project to make a smaller Wayland compositor built specifically to accommodate tiling window managers but with less bells and whistles attached.
Not like its the biggest loss, don't have to reinstall the OS at least and can come back to wayland when its distributions are more stable.

I was not recommending he install Xubuntu, mistyped the > for the first line.

I would rather have a DE that doesn't use toolkit from 2006, you still haven't answered my question, how can you make XFCE look like KDE?

you cant and he's lying but if it consolidates your ass-ruptured body there's LXQt that's pretty much what you'd be looking for.

Too many options in the settings menu for you?

More like options that don't even function or do anything

the settings menu in kde is completely a clusterfuck

hey guise check out muh xfce customization
rude but creative

xfce is based not a single problem yet unlike buggy kde plasma

Name some that literally do nothing.

And sure, it's totally a clusterfuck. It makes no sense that font management options are in the "Font" section, and the "Printer" section has options for configuring printers. And that searchbox in the panel in case you aren't sure where to look - how daunting.

He he yeah I am going to go stop the work I'm doing and go install kde and find out the "name" of a menu and send you that "name" so you can look it up "by name" and see what I am talking about.

It's like trying to argue with a color blind person about the color blue

>It's like trying to argue with a color blind person about the color blue

Says the person pulling a claim out of their ass without any proof.

Oh my god could you be more thick?

Look kid... If you like wiping your ass with sandpaper that's great, but I am not going to prove to you why I don't like it.

That picture looks like sanji if he was trying to cosplay the girl. (forgot the bitches name) take a good look at that picture... Now that I think of it any picture of the girl looks like sanji. Am I trippin?

XFCE with bspwm is best DE (until LXQt gets its shit done).

>1 minute of tweaking flat
>make it look like openbox
Might as well just use openbox which uses less resources than xfce.

>no bloat
>needs X11
pick one

what do you even need a DE for?

XFCE is top comfy

you admit screen tearing is an issue and still go on and post the thread? stop clogging the catalog
