XFCE - amazing desktop environment for Linux
Why choose XFCE as your Linux desktop environment? There are so many to choose from. XFCE focuses on speed, rock-solid performance, basic functionality and staying the same. If you want all the bells and whistles, you might like KDE. If you want simplicity, you might go with GNOME. But those sacrifice on performance in comparison. Lastly, what about window managers? Let's talk about it.

XFCE vs GNOME : Which Desktop Environment is best for You?
Before we dive into the differences between Xfce and GNOME, let's understand what a desktop environment is.
A desktop environment provides you with a graphical user interface, complete with icons, toolbars, and widgets, just like you'd find in Windows.
This makes navigating your Linux desktop a breeze, whether you prefer using a mouse or keyboard.

XFCE For Wayland Will Happen... One Day
XFCE used to be one of the major Linux desktop environments but over time it's faded into more and more obscurity but it's not dead yet and a Wayland version is in the works.

First experience with XFCE - An Air of Nostalgia
Visit https://www.linode.com/linuxexperiment for a 100$ credit on your new Linode account
We're going to take a look at the last major desktop environment that I have never really touched, and that's XFCE. This is the first video in a series that will cover the desktop, the default apps, and the customization options. I don't know much about it, I never used it more than a few minutes to record a few images, so I'm going in fresh.

Why Xfce is so GREAT!
This is the start of a series highlighting 4 different desktop environments for desktop Linux. This first episode is about the Xfce desktop environment. It's lightweight, full featured, and configurable. I used both Linux Mint Xfce edition and Xerolinux Xfce edition. They are both great options just different approaches to using this desktop environment.

XFCE vs LXQt - Lightweight Linux Desktop Environments
Comparison of the best lightweight Linux desktop environments. XFCE and LXDE/LXQt amazing environments and in the video, I will cover many of the differences from general appearance, specifications, to toolkits.
XFCE: 1ghz single-core processor, 512MB of ram
LXQt: 1ghz single-core processor, 256MB of ram
https://www.xfce.org/
https://lxqt.github.io/
On the LXDE blog, they benchmarked XFCE and LXQt as well as a few other desktop environments. Their results showed that on average LXQt will use slightly less ram than XFCE. If you have a system with less than one or two gigabytes of ram these results may be a strong consideration for you. However, it is important to point out that these differences can vary widely depending on the distribution these are installed on.

I decided to go for the Fedora XFCE spin, because it was the easiest to install out of the available options. It's pretty much vanilla apart from the theme, which I had to revert to the default "Greybird" from XFCE.
XFCE aims to be fast and use few resources.
## The desktop
Let's start with the desktop, then. You have a top bar, and a dock with some shortcuts.
The top bar has an applications menu, a task list with all your open windows, a virtual desktop switcher, with 4 virtual desktops by default, the notification tray, followed by the date and time, and a user/system menu.
The dock only has a "show desktop" icon, and launchers for a few apps.
Now, all these elements work fine: both the top bar and the dock are panels, that you can really tweak to your liking.
The applications menu is a simple list of categories, with drop down menus. You get some favorites on top, which I couldn't find a way to change, and then the categories, including the settings.
The task list is pretty simple: it only shows your currently open apps, and lets you minimize them by clicking on their title, or restore them by clicking again.
The virtual desktop switcher is really simple, showing an outline of the app windows opened on each desktop, and letting you switch in one click.
The notification tray works as you'd expect, showing indicators, and icons for apps that integrate there. The default indicators are for the network, audio, power manager, and notifications. They are all really basic and simple. The date and time applet just displays a calendar, and the user menu lets you log out, shut down, or switch users.
Now, the desktop itself hosts some default icons, and you can use it as you might be used to, to store some files, shortcuts, or mix both.
Right clicking on the desktop shows a little context menu, with some quick options: to change how things look, and sort your desktop icons, or create folders and documents. It also lets you quickly start any application you want.
XFCE also comes with a bunch of default keyboard shortcuts to make things a bit faster.
The "old school" feel permeates the whole desktop in general: the look of the menus, of the applets, how you use and interact with panels, it all screams GNOME 2 to me, and that's not necessarily a bad thing: personally, I prefer more modern looking stuff, but for people who want to use their linux desktop like it was back in the old days, it's definitely a great choice.
It also helps in terms of resource usage. Out of the box, on a clean launch, XFCE used less than 1 GB of RAM, out of 16, and CPU usage was constantly at 0%.
## Settings
The settings are exploded into small configuration panels that you can access through the "settings" category of the applications menu, or with a right click on the desktop. There is also a main hub that regroups all these settings.
I quite like that approach of not hiding everything behind one application, although I found the way GNOME 2 did it a bit better: having a dedicated settings menu in the panel made them easier to access, with one less sub menu to enter.
Out of the box, you can change the theme, the icons, and the fonts, and the cursor theme, which is nice, but XFCE can go a lot deeper than this: you have a host of options to tweak how your window manager will work, including options to handle transparency and shadows of the windows, their placement on screen, or the modifier key you want to use to move them.
You also have fractional scaling in the display settings, and tons of options to make your panels look and feel like what you want to use.
They even ship panel profiles that let you change between various default layouts, including a mac os-like one with a dock that serves as the task list as well, a GNOME 2 layout for the nostalgic ones, or a Windows 7 like layout with a bar on the bottom and nothing on the top edge of the screen.

Comparison of the best lightweight Linux desktop environments. XFCE and LXDE/LXQt amazing environments and in the video, I will cover many of the differences from general appearance, specifications, to toolkits.
XFCE: 1ghz single-core processor, 512MB of ram
LXQt: 1ghz single-core processor, 256MB of ram

On the LXDE blog, they benchmarked XFCE and LXQt as well as a few other desktop environments. Their results showed that on average LXQt will use slightly less ram than XFCE. If you have a system with less than one or two gigabytes of ram these results may be a strong consideration for you. However, it is important to point out that these differences can vary widely depending on the distribution these are installed on.
https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchmark-memory-usage-lxqt-desktop-environment-vs-xfce/
Toolkits provide the overall system to look and feel. They provide the buttons, toolbars, sliders, and menus when you are using various applications. Developers use toolkits because instead of having to code all of these they let them take care of the work allowing them to focus on the core functionality of an application. We will deep dive more into toolkits in a future video, but for now, the most important thing you need to know is that most applications and desktop environments use GTK+.
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/difference-gtk-qt/
In this video, I used two different variants of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. lubuntu for the LXQt environment and Xubuntu for the Xfce variant. Some of the best lightweight linux distros of 2020.
