XFCE vs KDE

[az2020]

IMHO, I think KDE's plama desktop will be such a great addition to Linux Lite and will make it even better; more appealing to its target audience being more windows-like UI as well as to others. 

I agree. I just switched from MX Linux 18.3 to Kubuntu 19.10. (I just got a couple new laptops and couldn't get MX 19 or 19.1 to install on them. I didn't work at it too much since I was planning to hop to something else anyway. I was planning to use Peppermint for awhile. But, their lead author/creator passed away in January, and they're struggling to fill those shoes. So, I thought I'd try KDE for awhile. I've always wanted to. Longer than Peppermint.).

It's really surprising how small KDE's memory usage is. Especially if you turn off the animations in "appearance." It's down around Linux Lite, Lubuntu. (It's based on qt, like Lubuntu's desktop).

I'm not in love with the start menu. It feels a little clunky the way you have to click menu items to drill deeper. I like how Linux Lite (and MX, other Xfce desktops) expand as you hover over a menu item.). It feels tedious that way. It has a lot of settings which could also feel tedious at first. But, now it's nice to have all that. It's very well organized.

It sounds like the is a rebellion among Xfce's fans. I guess Xfce is making some changes they don't like. So, that would be good to have a choice with Linux Lite. That might appeal to people. (I don't know how Jerry does it all.).
