What is better in 2022, MATE or XFCE and why?
I don't care about your cringe window managers btw. I want a nice desktop. KDE and GNOME trannies also need to stay out.
MATE vs XFCE

Henry King
Cinnamon? I don't get XFCE, it's too minimalist and lacking features, only worth it if your PC is a toaster.
Logan Sullivan
I personally like XFCE. Minimal, decent, and while I don't like how it looks by default, if you customize it it's awesome
Dylan Robinson
up
Grayson Carter
MATE. XFCE is missing features and customization. MATE you can pretty much do anything you want.
Elijah Collins
How likely is it XFCE will be abadoned by the devs in the next 5 years?
Aiden Smith
What features is xfce lacking?
Jose Clark
> Built in file manager is too basic
> No dock without third party
> Hundreds of other small things
Whenever I try to use it I always try to do something and can't. Really no reason to use it over MATE.
Logan Lewis
I love Thunar though, the builtin bulk rename feature is powerful and very easy to use.
Unlikely, xfce has been around for 20+ years and is still very popular
Ryan Ortiz
You can use thunar on MATE. Granted you could also use nautilus on XFCE but it won't be as well integrated.
Gavin Campbell
I use XFCE
Jack Kelly
lets say I have a potato running with a 2ghz core 2 duo, is XFCE my best option?
Mason Evans
MATE is a lot more polished, and I found it less buggy too
Jackson Myers
not true
Hunter Howard
well, if you say mr. user then I guess I was wrong
Gabriel Martin
nigger what is your major malfunction? it's 2022, you can get 16 gigs of ram for like fifty bucks. you have no excuse not to use a fully featured desktop environment
Zachary Price
your best option is to suck one single dick and get enough money for a computer that can run GNOME in the current year
Alexander Garcia
>you have no excuse not to use a fully featured desktop environment
Actually, I have 64 gb of ram but I still refuse to use shit like Gnome or KDE. Because they are just disgusting abominations.
Andrew Rogers
>only worth it if your PC is a toaster.
exactly. works on my toaster
Blake Brown
why not just use windows if you have money for good hardware at that point. kinda defeats the point of linux
Carson Turner
hm
Carson Moore
It's called not having a desktop that spies on everything you do and reports it to the US government, you bootlicker
