XFCE, FluxBox or KDE?

#1 Post by rmcaetanoalves »

Good afternoon community.

I started using MX Linux recently and I'm finding the system amazing, very agile and extremely stable, the developers are to be congratulated.
I would like to clarify a question with more advanced users about FluxBox, XFCE and KDE versions.
Of these 3 desktop managers, which is lighter and faster (responsive)?
My focus is performance, I don't bother with looks.

fluxbox consumes the least resources. xfce and KDE are pretty close and its pretty much a matter of personal preference.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Thanks for the information...
Can I install MX Linux only with FluxBox? Or do I need to install with XFCE and then install FluxBox module?

right now fluxbox shares the iso with the Xfce editions. You can logout and use the session chooser to chose fluxbox over Xfce, even on the live media.
