It doesn’t have so many essential modern features, kde has hdr, proper fractional scaling, mixed refresh rate displays and is much more secure thanks to wayland, plus the performance hit is tiny these days.
Wait, you can spruce it up? I’ve been running it stock for a year now. The design grew on me because it was installed on all the old desktops in my highschool, and I’ve had it on my laptop ever since.
In defense of xfce, it was my main DE for a few years and you can make it look pretty cool with a few CSS rules.
Please tell me you can share that amazing wallpaper.

Thanks for sharing! It’s adorable!
You rock. Have a good one
XFCE has convinced me to switch to Linux. Xubuntu has a nice elementaryOS-like theme by default and apps from the DE are extremely fast.
I really don’t understand the hate it gets. Maybe because the defaults aren’t that good?
Who is hating Xfce? Besides the “lightweight” DE crowd.
The project doesn’t have a lot resources, so it’s behind on things. They do great work for what they have though.
