Unironically the most practical choice for a desktop environment unless you're a Wayland beta tester.
XFCE's defaults are absolute dogwater, and if I'm going to spend my time customizing the desktop to make it usable then I might as well just use KDE and have a lot more options
What's so bad about the defaults?
>What's so bad about the defaults?
A picture is worth a thousand words
That's exactly what my pc looks like except I have a different background, mouse on blue background
>remove dock
>change pape
wew, that was hard
what are you even trying to achieve here? you can't move those folders
based arch + xfce user
>you can't move those folders
you can, the point is you can't select more than 1 item without using the keyboard
dolphin and nemo (with a little caveat) are the only file managers that get it right
>it doesn't support [extremely niche feature] therefore it's utter unusable trash
classic IQfytard
anon... that's literally a skill issue, it works for me lmao
>without using the keyboard
I didn't use the keyboard. try it yourself, have the mouse on any other column than file/folder name and you'll be able to select multiple items
and why can't i have it on the name column, like in every sane file manager? why resort to shitty and unintuitive workarounds like that? it's the little things like this that add up and make desktop linux a miserable experience
if you didn't want something shitty you'd be using icon view instead of list, in the first place
also it's not that unintuitive, anon. I never use list view, I recorded that webm just to show you it worked and I found that easily
>it's the little things like this that add up and make desktop linux a miserable experience
I think the opposite, it's pretty good to have some variety. thunar does it that way, another file manager will do it another way. you can just remove thunar and install nemo if you prefer it, without having to switch from xfce and without changing the rest of your experience
xfce defaults are kino on mint so idc
that's not what default means
yes it does. in install mint with xfce, and i use default settings.
They're ok on mint, but I still prefer Cinnamon, which I just use with Debian.
true
it literally takes me 20 min or less to make xfce usable. most of that is just installing packages.
Cute
This. I tried many other file managers with "more features" but it turns out I never needed any of these features and it just adds bloat. Thunar is perfect the way it is if you value your time
thunar recently added search and it's pretty amazing, a worthwhile addition
i like that they're now adding a few "full fat DE" features yet still remains lightweight. With distros phasing out 32 bit support there's not much with less than 2gb you can run linux nowadays.
It took you twenty minutes to change to a dark theme and delete the bottom bar?
19 minutes of that were spent browsing /w/ for the perfect wallpaper of course.
>perfect wallpaper
The search continues, then?
The default panel placement is not really usable, It's just there to show of all possible features, in the case of default panel: docking feature
you can backup and restore panels btw: panel profiles (it's not in debian stable, but I was able to compile it) saves a lot of work if you have to configure panels on 4 monitors
Do you cum when your dad fists you?
>XFCE's defaults are absolute dogwater,
Step 1. drag taskbar to bottom
Step 2. set dark theme in settings
step 3. turn on screen edge snaps and resize windows
congrats looks the same and has same functionality as any modern DE
i hate the default keyboard shortcuts and needing to use xcape
I'm a simple man. I see cute mouse, I bump
Agreed.
It's definitely the best Linux DE, unfortunately still not as good as Windows.
what exactly is so good abou it? i'm curious about it but for me, kde simply works
>abandonware
It literally just had a major release last year.

>2022
Ok, so it was 18 months ago. What tf are you expecting? It's a DE that follows a 2-year development cycle.
it's pretty much perfect there is no need to be constantly pushing useless updates
>t. microcuck update chaser
I'm really enjoying Plasma 6, but I have to say that it is a little heavier on memory that I would like, plus there are a shitload of packages. So I'm very XFCE curious, especially now that I'm not going back to Gayland.
Two questions for an XFCE chad:
- How good are the keybindings? I don't need full tiling, but I control KDE with all keybindings (splits, super+1-9 for task bar) and its basically as fast as I ever was on i3.
- I have to say I've enjoyed the look and feel of all the QT apps that I've used so far, is GTK actually that bad?
you can keep using plasma 5
you can use plasma 6 with xorg and it works better than wayland
when i use xfce, i just delete the bottom dock and i'm comfy
plus something about customize ability, but i don't care
>Completely borked it one night fricking with the config or something while blackout drunk
>Can't figure out what I did or why
>Delete and reinstall doesn't work
God damn do I hate chasing down parts of software scattered all over the file system.
use the file explorer and sort files by date
You're a drunken loser
thunar sucks
It's literally the perfect file manager.
lol
Buy better hardware you poorgay
Thunar absolutely SHITS on everything else.
>using a DE
noob thread
PCManFM is better in every way and lighter
>PCManFM is better in every way and lighter
Will check it out.
you should be a salesman
>PCManFM is better in every way and lighter
Only if you're gay and have full blown AIDS
Probably, but I'm still using i3 instead because I don't like having a web of programs that handle configuration. Maybe I should revisit it.
Best GUI file manager I've found so far.
I like it. That's what matters.
that looks amazing, a|_|g|_|st|_|s
Beauty is important.
didn't read, toasting anyway
>wayland
>beta testing
So can we consider Xorg as alpha testing? Still slow, buggy, messy, constant flickering, almost impossible to make it work with NVIDIA etc etc. To me wayland seems much more mature than Xorg
used to be an i3 neet
now im a kde plasma homelab ceo

no
Unusable on a small laptop screen
Works on my elderly Pads.
Good morning rat friends, how are you?
Doing well. You?
I honestly don't get why IQfy gets so flltered by GNOME. It's the most coherent, best-looking and well-working DE by far. If you use a laptop and need to dock it frequently, Xfce shits the bed. KDE looks like shit and is a clusterfrick of tandom shit with no design philosophy.
Just learn 2 use ur super key morons.
>GNOME
>best-looking
XFCE doesn't pretend that it looks good at least
GNOME app library is useless. XFCE simplicity and panel customization without pajeet extensions is the thinking man's choice.
agreed, i miss kde for some things but once gnome is setup it just werks
Dumb Black person forgot to mention cinnamon which is the best
>literally who
I don't know
All I know is Gnome and KDE are shit
The rat in comfy
XFCE is the holy grail of desktop enviroments.
Are you really using XFCE with that low runtime?
A desktop isn't a fricking server you autist.
Alright psycrow the archgay anime troony.
you literally don't need anything more than rat
>No Gui just a text integrated nightmare or bashing "ls" or "cd" or "cd .." or kys
Seethe at a real woman troonys who lurk this thread.
ill stick with KDE (x11 session)
Still uses GTK3 and has to follow a lot of the Gnome cancer like CSDs.
This. It was the best back when it was still using gtk2.
no animations
and that's a good thing
this. when I was on MicroOS I was stuck with GNOME but turned off animations. much smoother xperience
Why can't you turn mouse acceleration off in this slop
xset mouse 2/1 2
doesn't dragging the top bar all the way to the left turn it off?
There's no such slider on Linux mint xfce
yaass theirs
there wasnt one for me on mint 21.3 xfce
I could change mouse acceleration just fine on cinnamon too...
Does xfce just hate my mouse?
you need to pick your mouse from the device menu. it lists other usb devices too, like keyboard for example.
The thing is I did pick my mouse
it's over
Yes there is, I have mint xfce on one of my laptops
We all know (those of us that are normal and not deranged Gnome trannies) that XFCE is the best. But what implementation of XFCE is the goat? Xubuntu, Mint XFCE, Vanilla Debian? That's the real question everyone is asking in 2024.
vanilla debian/arch then personally riced by (You)
yep xfce just werks
It's great but then native apps still use GTK and have to use the GNOME ecosystem for other apps
xfeces is shit
it doesn't even have proper fractional scaling
what would you recommend for fractional scaling
A calculator alongside a pen and piece of paper.
KDE
>he fell for the 4k meme
nta but I also fell for it and still use xfce
scaling is for homosexuals
Poorgay cope
>needs to use notoriously unreliable OS scaling to read text on his motherfricking monitor
who is coping?
1440p chads keep winning
this is pretty frustrating. Maybe UI doesn't allow it but we can put it in a file somewhere?
In a sane world the desktop war would be between XFCE and Plasma, with a Plasma plugin to support Gnome's workspace management maintained by Ubuntu and Fedora (only remotely good part about this DE's design) and this homosexual Redneck and Icaza would be homeless in San Francisco. Unironically Microsoft should be sued to support this unusable shit as anticompetitive behavior.
anyone knows how to introduce keyboard shortcuts in xfce to run a command? for example I want to run rofi with some args on Alt+p
First result in google, a neat little website that answers questions you give it with webpages that provide the answer.

Welcome to the future and to IQfy, newfriend.
settings > keyboard > application shortcuts
I went into window manager shortcuts like a moron and just assumed it doesn't support it cause there was no add feature there
thanks anon
