As someone who only has been using Linux (with various DE hops) for about a year, XFCE has:
- +Simple design with full practicality
- -Slightly outdated look (not many style-points)
- +Actually very lightweight (IMO its strongesuit)
- -Bad highDPI scaling (global scaling setting is horrible). Most 1080p monitors shouldn’t need this though.
I almost stuck with XFCE if it wasn’t for the lackluster highDPI support. I have a relatively small 1440p laptop screen, and it just didn’t cut it.
And no, I don’t want to force the screen to 1080p lol, I paid for those pixels…
