From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Xfce appreciation post (lemm.ee)

There is a place for graphically gorgeous distro’s, but when it comes to ease and speed, Xfce is just the best for me.

I started using Xfce when Xubuntu first came out and I switched to Linux Mint Xfce when that started. I did try other distro’s when others recommended them, but always switched back to Xfce.

I have an old Eeepc that runs so smoothly on the latest Mint Xfce despite being a senior in computer years.

And that’s why it was about time I gushed about Xfce on here 😀

I like XFCE. It's the only DE that was just happy to run in my super weird setup without issues.

That is amazing. Great job!

Woah. Interesting setup. Looks like a PinePhone with 3D-printed case. But what about the keyboard? and the original Android status bar?

This is probably Xfce running in Termux on a normal Android phone

XFCE is something else. I used as my desktop for years but at some point I changed to Mate.

What always got me fuming was not having the double pane feature in Thunar I could get in Caja.
