xfce is really not an important project IMHO, it’s an interface from the 00’s that doesn’t have a clear usecase to me at all. It’s a strictly worse version of KDE in my eyes. The only reason to use it seems to be if you’re already used to it and don’t want to have to change anything.
so, i don’t think it’d matter if it were true, and it’s also false.
an interface from the ’00s*
Xfce is more stable and less demanding for laptops comparing to Kde. The default can be changed easily. Im glad Xfce still exists !
