> there were no new releases since 10.4
Which was released on August 15, 2017. If barely a year after the last release is enough to get the boot from openSUSE, Xfce fans need to worry – its last release was in 2015.
>Skype ? Guess again.
>Desktop environment that's half decent and looks and behaves like it was designed by sane humans? Lol no
>Word, powerpoint, microsoft project/whatever? Yeah get ready to lose all your work every couple of days with that fucking Libre office suite.
What? Like I use linux daily and half the points you make are valid but this one I don't even know where you're coming from
Personally, I have an older laptop on which I run Xfce, and a desktop on which I run Plasma.
If you want a lot of customization, I think Plasma is a great option: it's got tons of themes and widgets that you can install directly through the GUI, and allows a great deal of customization. I don't know if it'd be sufficiently mac-like, but that depends on what specifically you're looking for in that regard. I do know there are OSX-like themes and what-not aplenty, though.
It shouldn't affect the overall availability of the CUDA cores but it may impact performance. you might want to consider buying a really cheap secondary card ($40 should get you a Nvidia 710 GT) and running display off of that. Also if you run windows, I've seen a major performance hit from what I'm guessing is either explorer, or just general OS overhead, but that may have changed with Win 10.
Also run time doesn't matter too much just as long as you keep it cool enough.
The distro won't matter too much as far as taking up video memory, but the desktop environment will. If you are worried use XFCE, LXDE,OpenBox, or any other window manager that is for "older systems".
Reas this article. Warning this is for pure arch, manjaro has several not nice changes, mainly in start scripts. But in common, the article is fine.

Keybindings are in two places, look to post link.
Study directly xfce docs
There are a lot of important infos.
You can try to automatic translate of my pages and videos for xfce. There is a lot of information about job effectivity and best keybindings principles.

Definitely not my first rice, but definitely the only one that I feel is cool enough to be worth posting:
D33T5:
OS: Void Linux
DE: Xfce4
Theme: Chicago95
Catfish, Thunar, XFCE4 Terminal (in quake mode). The panels, and quite a few of the plugins for it (weather, clock, system tray, sound, notifications, whisker menu). And basically all of the system utilities (ie, settings manager, color pallette, etc.).
IMO - This seems like a silly question. The other applications are generally shipped with XFCE, but are generally not seen as part of the desktop environment, and as such are frequently swapped out by distributors in order to provide a consistent set of applications across desktop environments, or because they feel application X is better than application Y.
In large, the XFCE developers don't really look at anything beyond the desktop environment itself as being part of the core of XFCE, see: https://xfce.org/about
- Distro: Arch Linux
- DE: Xfce
- Fonts: Noto Sans & Cascadia Code
- Wallpaper: xfce-verticals.png (new wallpaper shipped with Xfce 4.16)
> I do wish they fix the app-finder though. It's pretty bad at finding apps, which is the whole point of it.
The release notes say that it now allows sorting by frecency, so frequently and recently used apps should show up first.
depends on how old is old... XUBUNTU is a good trade off - of features, size, and ease of use. it uses XFCE -> https://xfce.org/
But the other DE's may be just as usable for your needs.
Lubuntu - used to be the least 'fancy' and works decently well, but i have not used it much lately (it uses LXDE) https://lxde.github.io/
On my machine, I have a window manager theme called "Daloa" that looks like that (can't tell about the colour though, because my title bar was in my highlight color, not that blue tone in the picture). I'm running Linux Mint Xfce.
The theme is mentioned in this changelog: https://xfce.org/download/changelogs/4.3.90.2
could be any linux based OS with either KDE or Gnome as Desktop Environmt. Both are extensible, configurable and can have very different looks on different computers. But as others already mentioned it looks like an XFCE default theme DE. https://xfce.org/
vita_cell, the cancer has arrived to Xfce4.
>While we decided to remove splash screens from the session manager...
Xfce4 being made to lose identity on purpose.
>xfce4-taskbar-plugin, xfce4-windowlist-plugin, xfce4-wmdock-plugin deprecated
Seriously?
As you are in Slackware, doubtlessly you still have some years before you can even update (speaking about the stable channel) to Xfce 4.14.
I realize this is an older post but I'll comment. I'm using Xbuntu on my laptop and have really liked it's ease of use. Installed Cairo-Dock which makes it more to my taste. If Xbuntu for some reason is not supported in the future then the XFCE desktop is available in many other distros such as Linux Mint. And too you can always install the XFCE DE in other distros. Check out the XFCE website and to help the team there to keep it in development consider making a donation (located under the 'Get Involved' tab. https://xfce.org/
A cursory search for xfce "failure to launch shortcut" didn't turn up much - and that related to programs actually missing. As the fullscreen option is part of xfwm (or isn't it?), I think that can't be the problem here. If nobody here comes up with a solution, you could try the Xfce forums.
So basically 16.04 with Xfce... I am liking this idea. A no non-sense UI
Will this be enough on a default 16.04 installation?
sudo apt update sudo apt install xfce4
and logout.
