The default XFCE theme on Void Linux looks good. The Void Linux live USB also booted really fast.

The PClinuxOS live USB for XFCE seemed to take forever to boot. Progress bar got about half way after several minutes and I just gave up. Void booted into XFCE in what seemed like just a few seconds.

The installer on Void is not as easy to use as the Artix installer.

Void is similar to Artix in that it is also a rolling release distro, but doesn't have the high frequency of package updates that Arch (Artix) does. So it is a much more stable rolling distro that doesn't require multi-gigabyte downloads for updates every week.

XFCE is the only desktop option provided on a live USB installer by Void Linux.

Note: I had to install the 'fastfetch' and 'scrot' packages on the live boot to be able to take this screenshot.

Just a quick screenshot from an Artix with XFCE live boot.

Already I am feeling better about XFCE than MATE. The "Ctrl + Alt + t" keyboard shortcut for bringing up a termal works, in MATE it doesn't by default.

Without messing with it too much, it also seems more easily customizable.

Will report more later.

I'm going to check them out. Torrenting the Artix XFCE iso now:

Got a stack of other XFCE iso images from other distros to try, too.

#XFCE has some sweet themes, and they're easy to modify.

Me gusta fomentar la diversidad en mis computadoras.

Actualmente convivo con un Debian 13, un Slackware 15 y un Manjaro, en los que de paso alterno entre XFCE, KDE Plasma y sólo terminal.

Eso si, en esta casa no entra el tema claro en ningún lado...

Besides tiling window managers (bspwm and i3wm), I have mostly used the Cinnamon desktop environment for the past five years.

I am exploring MATE and XFCE more now. I used to use Ubuntu MATE, but haven't really "daily driven" XFCE.

If you had to choose between the two, what would you prefer for a Linux or BSD desktop environment:

#Linux #BSD #MATE #XFCE

Alternativ zum MATE Desktop gibt es jetzt auch ein freies Image zum Klonen von Labdoo mit dem XFCE Desktop. Basis bleibt bei beiden Versionen Linux Mint.

As much as I like #Xfce, posting screenshots of one's desktop, or "ricing" is mostly boring as hell. YMMV. *shrug*

I also _hate_ the term "ricing" as well.

Hmmm. 🤔

May be seeing a preview release in June for the #Xfce #Wayland work with #Xfwl4

Stay tuned....
