Running Linux Mint Xfce on my Secondary Laptop, which has only 4GB of Ram, and has been running very well for a few years now. Linux Mint Xfce is the way to go for older PCs. Picked up all my Drivers automatically.

LIked and subscribed... good delivery, easy to understand, and not overly technical like some Linux videos tend to be. Good job... I'm convinced to try XFCE on my older laptop now. 👍👍

Your video was helpful to me. Thank you. I think I'll stick with what I have, version 20.3 Cinnamon. I like that the calendar etc, is integrated, as you say, while XFCE doesn't have the bells and whistles...

I use XFCE and I love it its blazingly fast and very flexible. I put a copy of xfce mint inside my micro sd card just in case in trouble theres a lot much help from the community

Thank you Bro for all your gear through the years. Yes Sir, I use the Notes to keep track of where I am in Word Time mp3s (Acts in Japanese...Hebrews in KJV...stuff like that). Starts heaps faster than Office docs!
Peace, Man! (You had asked about Notes, and I didn't see any replies, so...)

XFCE works great on my dads 2002 laptop, I prefer KDE. I LOVE the level of customization attainable for the non technically inclined.

XFCE has a cooling looking Interface for Linux

I'm one of those people that likes MATE better than XFCE for a low resource PC, as I've had far less composting issues with older AMD APU chips vs. XFCE, but it's been a while since I've used either, as I mainly use Budgie, so I might give XFCE a shot again at some point on a spare machine when I get bored one day.

Beautiful Garden by the bay wallpaper :-)

Fun Fact for the wallpaper (3:50 thru 9:30) --> That's "Gardens by the Bay" in Singapore

After lxqt, xfxe is my favourite, used to be my daily driver

Running Liquorix Kernel on my Mint 21 XFCE, my god it runs like a dream.

I currently use the Cinnamon version of Mint. I have plenty of RAM and Processor Power, so choosing a version for the reason of limiting the load on my system would not be a strategy. I've always wondered about what I might lose or gain going with another version.

I installed Mint XFCE on an old laptop with 4gb of ram with a celeron N2830 (2.16ghz) CPU, and once it's inside it runs very good, (much better than w7 would) so I'm wondering if it could run MATE just as well?

Is there GNOME Disks utility at the Live USB of this Linux Mint 21 XFCE?

[petergrin]

I prefer the cinnamon desktop, you can deinstall applications if you right-click on the main menu.

See at the 6:30 mark, its one of the main reasons why I don't use xfce anymore, see how it renders windows, it will render the window decoration first and then fill in the rest of the window, it really bugs me, with firefox it rendered the window decoration and then literally took 1 second to fill in the contents of the window, lxqt is my go to desktop now, but I combine it with kwin, when you disable animations it renders windows instantly, you have all the advanced features of kwin, and it only uses 440M of ram.

What ever happened to Lubuntu? I never hear from anyone talking about it anymore.

KDE Plasma isn't all that heavy anymore. My MX KDE installs come in at under 500 Mg. Plus, KDE has a more modern look and feel. JMHO, YMMV.
