MATE vs XFCE - which do you prefer?

Bernd 2021-10-26 11:03:06 ⋅ 3y No. 125447

gnome

KDE

I never really used MATE except when it was still called Gnome 2. I liked it back then. But today I'd prefer Xfce if there is an officially supported version of the distro I want to run. KDE is also very good, probably better depending on what you want to do. I never really got into Gnome 3.

Bernd 2021-10-26 18:07:58 ⋅ 3y No. 125467

Is MATE any good? Was looking at it as possible replacement for my vanilla Ubuntu gnome I have been using for ~7 years now

Bernd 2021-10-26 18:34:49 ⋅ 3y No. 125470

Is kde still resource heavy? I always stuck with gnome and xfce.

>>125470 KDE is more lightweight than gnome now, last time I checked.

Bernd 2021-10-26 19:48:17 ⋅ 3y No. 125481

>>125479 Good news. I know gnome has been adding unnecessary features in the last few years but I haven't had the chance to use any ganoo/linux flavour for some time now. t.might install mint

KDE apps are good enough to be used on windows, not many such cases from open sores software.

>>125431 LXQt

Bernd 2021-12-21 23:59:46 ⋅ 3y No. 130328

>>125479 Correct.

>>130815 MATE is basically what Gnome 2 was. Back in the day it is what I used on Ubuntu.

>>125431 xfce long time user, because MATE theme preferences are unnecessary complicated and I prefer Thunar as fie manager, but since xfce started to use hardcoded icons for their programs, that also look like drawn by a 12 years old I'm pissed off at xfce, too. So I just stopped updating my system alltogether ad will probably switch to either KDE or Mac OSX in future.

i like Gnome3 yet it requires addons to be more comfy

>>125431 XFCE, purely because it's lightweight and I use an ancient laptop.

>>130820 >>130832 It's the old Ubuntu, right? I think it was my first experience with Linux distros.

Bernd 2022-03-19 22:18:12 ⋅ 3y No. 142013

MATE suffers from lack of developer attention In my experience, minimal Gnome installation uses 500MiB RAM, KDE 500-600, if you have >4GiB of RAM neither will be worrisome >>142004 not really, the difference between XFCE and KDE is like a 200MiB of RAM tax for a lot more functionality and customizability

Bernd 2022-03-19 22:41:55 ⋅ 3y No. 142017

>>142013 200MB RAM is a lot when your laptop has 1GB RAM.

Bernd 2022-03-20 00:01:01 ⋅ 3y No. 142027

>>142017 at that point even xfce is bloat, though. I'm guessing you're already running 32bit OS? openbox should use considerably less resources than xfce.

Bernd 2022-03-20 12:44:48 ⋅ 3y No. 142103

>>142027 Yeah, I'm running an old Linux Mint 32bit release because my laptop doesn't support 64bit. I used Crunchbang years ago, and that shipped with Openbox.

Bernd 2022-03-20 13:44:11 ⋅ 3y No. 142116

>>142027 Isn't openbox abandoned? Regarding OP question: I'd prefer XFCE over MATE. Haven't used both of them for a while, but I've used XFCE for some years before switching to tiling WMs. But since I'm using wayland nowaydays, XFCE is not even an option anymore.

Bernd 2022-03-20 18:14:15 ⋅ 3y No. 142233

>>142103 crunchbang was just debian with openbox, and the current debian release still offers 32 bit binaries!

Bernd 2022-08-14 08:51:37 ⋅ 2y No. 217721

>>125431 XFCE. Mate is heavier and doesn't look too good with Graybird.
