  • Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn't like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I'll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.

    • You can get experimental wayland in lxqt tho, you need a window manager that supports it and a package,but xfce is currently implementing it.

      • Yeah I'm waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was... A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it's working and it looks very nice to me.
