Although I am no longer a user of Xfce, I have to admit that Xubuntu It is one of the best distributions to have a good experience with this Desktop Environment.
Xubuntu Saucy Salamander Beta 2 It comes with some changes, which although for many are not relevant at all, at least if it improves the user experience as I mentioned above. Let's see the main changes:
- A new version of xfce4-settings that includes, among other things, improvements in the configuration of the monitors.
- Gtk-theme-config is included, a tool to easily configure Gtk themes.
- New wallpapers
- A new version of the Xubuntu Gtk theme with support for Gtk 3.10, LightDM improvements and some visual bugs fixed.
- Updated documentation.

Good edition of Xubuntu. If it had the Radiance theme then that would be great.
I am more of Greybird.

I, for Xubuntu, stay with the elementary style that they have been handling.
I use the Abatroos theme + Faenza Darker icons for XFCE in archlinux and it looks fancy.
And won't there be a theme that looks like the Steam window?
Let's see how this update is. Thanks @elav.
Last night I was testing it for almost 2 hours and I must say that I love it ...
elva did you mention that this beta of Xubuntu brings the GTK Numix theme by default
small detail that hardly anyone noticed greetings 😉
What, am I no longer using GreyBird? I have not been able to prove it yet.
If you use Greybird, of course… but if you go into the settings> Appearance> you will see that in addition to the Greybird theme it also includes a Numix theme without the need to use external repositories
xcfe 4.12 in 2020
LOL
Does this comment contribute anything? It is true that sometimes people take their portraits, and it is clear who is dedicated to chopping to mount free controversies.
You just chopped.
Nice beta, I like it, but at the moment I'm comfortable on OS4 with XFCE. 🙂
Hey and what desktop do you use now elav?
GNOMEShell.
@elav uses KDE on Arch.
I already know it.
Cute distro
Tssss now I am between XFCE VS KDE. I love both, but I don't know which one to choose now.
Come to XFCE here you can configure the environment to your tastes just like you do in KDE 😉

This is my XFCE.
Now I'm testing with kde, but mmmm I don't know, I like xfce better. And that which fascinated me kde before, once you try xfce, you don't let it: D.
Yes, kde will have more applications by default or of great caliber, but in xfce you can add anything and edit it to your liking, with an excellent integration to gtk and qt, and install plugins / applications / programs so that it is equal to or better than KDE.
Na, I go back to xfce: Cute, Light, Personal.
It depends. I started with Gnome 2, then after a brief but intense step through Gnome 3 I spent a month or so with KDE, and then finished for more than a year and a half with XFCE.
I have recently returned to KDE as people are raving about the new versions. I use 4.10.5 in Debian testing (I suppose that in a month or so they will put 4.11 in the repositories) and the truth is that if you have a decent PC, KDE is a much more complete environment with many more possibilities. It has simplified many of the tasks I was doing for me.
Although I will not deny that XFCE will always have a hole in my heart and I do not rule out returning one day. Maybe the day they release 4.12
In any case, choose what is most comfortable for you and saves you the most time.
I am just in KDE after a long time that I stopped using it when I was in KDE 3. With GNOME 2 I stayed as far as it could go, I was in a short stay with GNOME 3 until it did not give for more and now I am with KDE for normal PC's and XFCE for somewhat old PC's.
I am 100% comfortable with Unity on Ubuntu 12.04.
On the other hand, I had never liked XFCE, but after having been around KDE for so long and despite being the most complete environment in some cases it was roasting with my machine. I also like Gnome Shell but at work I installed Manjaro with XFCE and now I don't change it for anything, it's like having a mini Gnome2 but much lighter and it does exactly what I need.
And co # @! · & Customizable and integrates seamlessly with gtk and qt.
There is nothing better than xfce 😀
excellent distro
Testing if you take the distro
Good news!
I always recommend Xubuntu for those new to the linux world. The truth is that as you say, elav, is one of the distros with a better experience for XFCE along with Manjaro and LMDE, in my opinion.
Good for Xubuntu!
One thing I could never take away from it in previous versions was tearing. I'm going to test if in this one they already removed it.
The good thing is that on the machine where I have it, I don't use it for videos, otherwise I would have removed it.
That is the only big flaw that I look at in xfce and can't find how to remove it without disabling the effects.
You can only remove tearing, with compton, compiz or some other composer that exists ...: /, if you have an intel, putting the tear free option in xorg.conf, if you have an amd, using the proprietary driver with the tear free option or the free one with the option exa vsync ..., with nvidia I have no idea ...
Hello,
Five days ago new development versions of libxfce4ui, xfce4-settings and xfwm4 were released.
xfwm4 among the new features has the following: Add Vsync support for the composer (bug # 8898), which solves the screen tearing problem.
By the way with these releases 4.12 is closer, beyond the sarcasm of the friend pandev92 above.
Regards,
jav
What is «El tearing» ???
I imagine they are referring to the cut frames from the videos right?
Could it be that in this new version they have already corrected that?
GOD WISH THAT YES
Thank you very much for the tip.
I do not understand how it does not have transparency by default in the text of icons
True! I've always thought about it. How can this horrendous effect be avoided?
