MX-21 Xfce or KDE?

#1 Post by Bamber »

This poll is specific for the upcoming MX-21 since it'll bring newer versions of both DEs, Xfce 4.16 and Plasma 5.20 (5.22?).
What will be your choice and will you be moving or staying?

What if you plan to have both DEs like you already have on MX 19?

I like the option to have one or both in the ISO like with AHS. If I want only one or no DE, we all know what we can do there!! MX LINUX baby!!

I chose XFCE4, but neither XFCE4 nor KDE (especially) play well in remote sessions with x2go. Therefore, I use the XFCE4 edition adding LXDE on top of it for remote sessions, though in remote sessions (like 500 miles away) I'll often just use the OpenBox window manager with LXPanel as the panel and PCManFM to manage the desktop. This comes out as light as FluxBox but with a completely bog-standard like user interface.

Ditto Gordon, Xfce 4 Me 2.
For me Xfce is deserving of its flagship role in MX ever since the earliest times of this great distro. It's flexible, intuitive and can be prettied up as little or as much as one wants.

Staying with XFCE (except with Openbox instead of xfwm)... It is a "known Devil" and I don't really want to take time to learn a whole new D.E. as complex as KDE or even Fluxbox to be honest... For me a 'simple' unencumbered light D.E. is the appeal of Linux being something unique and different than Windows or OSX. Just an opinion...each to their own of course!
