Heya,
I really like xfce as an out-of-the-box window manager to dump on any old machine. In my experience it makes a very noticeable difference compared to gnome, kde, and the likes performance wise. Sometimes you gotta fiddle with compositors to get rid of screen tearing, but that’s about it.
Are there any you could recommend that are similar to xfce? The main priority is performance and out-of-the-box sane defaults and usability.
Thank you!
LXQt and Xfce can both run under Wayland. I’d recommend using LabWC as the compositor.
Cinnamon and MATE also have experimental Wayland support.
Thank you. Though cinnamon is a lot heavier than xfce oob.
