It's stable and feature complete, what do you want?
Nothing kills a software project faster than feature creep.

I hope it isn't.

You're absolutely 1000% retarded my man.

The xfce dev team is very small and semi-inactive. Moreover, the fact that GTK3 was absolute impossible to target due to constant breakages they pretty much gave up on it. GTK4 is around the corner too.
The only solution would be to port it to Qt but there's not enough resources for that.

So yeah. It's dead.

pretty much all those changes are TL so who's retarded now?

He is. Anyways xfce is bloat. Use i3 or dwm

>wow it's still dead
So, you're saying all this translation work isn't incentive enough to keep the project moving? Or at least motivate a fork? That's a lot of work for nothing if that's the case.. It's pretty damn active if you ask me.

It's not abandoned. It's finished. There's a difference.

>GTK4
oh god please no... gtk3 just recently stabilized after years of constant breakage

It would be easier to write a DE from the scratch than port xfce to the latest GTK or Qt.

GTK in general is no go. No wonders everybody uses Qt these days.

That's funny when Canonical just gone full gnome.

>immediately return to LXDE and remove lxqt
Oh well.

Lxde have whisker menu?

>LXDE
Abandonware

Shit, I meant xfce. My bad.

Knowing canonical they will soon abandon it.

They preparing for the IPO, so dropping gnome would be absurd.

>xfce is bloat
The absolute state of Sup Forums

Oh look, it's this thread again

How we've been over this already. XFCE is slow and steady, it's pretty much fully featured and finished. They don't need to be totally super bleeding edge, everything just literally works.

it's worse than abandonware. it's currently being ported to gtk3. It's destined to become a shitty mate clone.

QT is the only sane choice.

i cant find it, but there was a really good article on hacker news a while ago about how this one developer refused to push out updates for the sake of pushing updates.

People think if their software isnt constantly getting random updates for the sake of getting updates, a-la windows, then it must be abandoned / not working anymore

fpbp

can you redpill me on mate? why does Sup Forums have such a fucking hard on for it?

it doesn't, where did you get that impression

They release the stable version every 3 years. 4.14 will be available sometime next year.

why does anyone have a hardon for it? cause it looks like gnome2?

You're retarded

They made update for xfce pulse audio plugin recently.

It's stable as fugg and besides adding some new features or themes there's little room for improvement.


this will probably be the end of Xfce.

>gtk3 just recently stabilized after years of constant breakage
it hasn't. the whole gtk4 meme is an excuse to break things even more often

People used to like it, but then they ported it to gtk3.

>Nothing kills a software project faster than feature creep
I wish more devs had your wisdom user. Mozilla especially.

can't improve perfection

GNOME 3 > Xfce4. Prove me wrong.
>Funded by Red Hat
>GNOME tech powers most Linux desktops
>Runs on Linux & Most BSDs
>6 Month release cycle

And it's as shitty as GNOME3 except it ships with screen tearing and worse default UI.

Xfce terminal was updated to support true color, so it's still being updated

GNOME delivers a much heavier, yet less functional DE, with a worse user experience overall. It's embarrassing to have a DE which wastes that much RAM.

XFCE devs are still maintaining consolekit2 so that people bsd and systemd free still works with XFCE.

>Nothing kills any project faster than feature creep

This.

>2 years ago.
So safe to say it's still butt fugly.
