Let us continue with the nominations. Today, we shall announce the best Xfce distro of the year. It will be interesting, I promise. Just hop over to OCS-Mag, if you will. http://www.ocsmag.com/2016/12/12/best-xfce-distro-of-2016/ Cheers, Mrk
I really appreciate your warm words towards Xfce; the more I test other DEs the more I feel the comfort of something simple yet full featured, intuitive yet configurable, and oh so snappy in use. If I had to chose only two it would be Xfce and KDE; only one? the X then. Thanks for the article.
Thanks for the list. Recently switched over to Linux as my main boot, started with Debian (standard environment) and it was brutal. I am enjoying Debian XFCE a lot more right now, about a week in. Still learning the ins-and-outs of Linux. I had read that if I were to start with any distribution, it would be Debian to get a feel for "true" Linux. I am mostly doing computer science and have VBox set up for some danger testing. Any benefits/further stability from Mint/Manjaro/Xubuntu over Debian? Worth noting that I have a custom built PC, had to remove my Soundblaster Z entirely and use my Hero VII on-board audio instead. Took me about 5-6 reinstalls to get the GTX 980 drivers working properly as well.
Ubuntu based on Debian is easy for newcomers to Linux. OpenSUSE based on RPM, is a rock-solid distro for everyday use.
Can anyone tell me how to change the startup background on xfce, the one that appears behind the user/password dialog-box at the session start? Thanks
