And xfce vs lxqt in general

>>160925(OP)

lxqt is lighter xfce is more customizable

>>160925(OP)

whats ur use case?

>>160925(OP)

lxqt

i don't like gtk, to me gtk = material ui, it feels "off"

>>160925(OP)

or better yet, i3 or fluxbox depending on whether u want tiling or not

>>160939

Nothing. Just browser and spreadsheet. So might as well keep it ultra light

>>160944

Why is xfce more popular

>>160945

I don't need anything extra

I use xfce , thought it was lighter

>>160983

Lxqt is lighter l, faster, prettier but xfce is more stable and just werks. However, you can complile a gentoo and the idle ram usage would like 20mb

>>161013

this

>t. gentoo custom kernel chad

>>160968

whats ur specs might aswell go for something better as unused ram will be wasted ram

>>160968

xfce is is more popular cuz is more customizable and people want to flex their riced animu desktops

>>161013

if your gonna go that hard into customizability might aswell go lfs

>>160968

>Browser and Spreadsheet

Yaara why linux just use windows

>>161038

10 minutes of use on windows heat my lappy like a furnace, with xfce 5 hours of browsing & music doesn't even make it warm and big point is audio output sounds better on Linux

I3-1000G1 4 3.40G. But because use is just browser, spreadsheet and spotify might as well keep it light. For longer battery, longer cpu life and to keep it cool
