f0rk_b0mb Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hey Haggis. Have you ever tried XFCE? How does LXDE compare to it in terms of performance? I'm just curious because I'm running XFCE on my old machine now and looking for alternatives. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl L. Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I agree. LXDE does feel really fast. Its still not my favorite desktop environment though. I love the extreme customization and low resource usage of Openbox, and the MATE user experience is near perfection IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! :) Xfce in my experience is a little more heavy on the resources than LXDE- but not by much- The order - Resource Hogg's E-17 (enlightenment) {this one all depends on how much OPEN GL your video card supports) KDE then XFCE LXDE Flux Box That is my experience f0rk_b0mb 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted November 23, 2012 Member Share Posted November 23, 2012 LXDE is light and it's great if that is what you want, but it also lacks features of the heavier desktops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
