Xfce erhält neuen Wayland Compositor

It is so cool to be able to configure #XFCE with a script via command line. It is even cooler to simply share one config file as with #i3wm or #Niri. Although i3wm is "better" as it can include a file called config.`hostname` 👍

Showing some keyboard shortcuts in XFCE and a bit of customization with the rofi launcher.

Video length is about six and a half minutes.

Here's a little chatty video where I show off my current experimentation with the XFCE desktop environment.

Video length is about four and a half minutes.

I removed some of the panels and panel items. Replace the menu with Rofi launcher. Added tiling features to XFCE with the 'coretile' program.

This last week I posted a poll asking about two different Linux desktop environments.

I think I expected XFCE to be preferred, but I was surprised by how much!

It certainly has me looking at XFCE more closely now. After this poll, I did an install of Void Linux with XFCE on a ThinkCentre Tiny and experimented with customization.
