Hello!

Hello everyone,

I am Jonathan and a Xfce user since 2008. Other desktop environments like KDE and GNOME 2/3 and Unity
simply do not win from the ease-of-use and speed that is present in Xfce. I have tried LXDE, but didn't like its
(Windowish) looks. Great job on delivering this mighty desktop environment, developers!

Which distro do you recommend? I am now using Xubuntu 14.10, which debuted with rave reviews from, but
am also at home in Fedora. To me, Fedora 21 and Xfce is not really the most polished distro; in contrast to its GNOME 3 main 'spin'.

Also, are there any websites worth checking out for Xfce users?

Welcome Jonathan

I use Korora which is a Fedora respin. It is a little more polished and comes with all the extras people need to add to Fedora like codecs and popular apps.

Doesnt matter, all will work - personally prefer debian but will probably switch to devuan or salix os (due the increased ram usage with systemd)

@polish

I prefer distros that give me vanilla desktops, I love to start with a minimal installation and build up from there - so every xfce distribution that has more than ~700 packages by default installed is a no-go for me smile

Wow, Korora is just what I need. I am going to try it out, see if it can combine the ease of use of Xubuntu with the technical prowess of Fedora. Are you one of Korora's devs, ozjd?

Pleased you like Korora. We wanted it to be an easier to use Fedora.

I'm not a dev but am part of the team. I do testing and some support. You'll find me with the same name on irc and Korora's Engage.
