Heya,

I really like xfce as an out-of-the-box window manager to dump on any old machine. In my experience it makes a very noticeable difference compared to gnome, kde, and the likes performance wise. Sometimes you gotta fiddle with compositors to get rid of screen tearing, but that’s about it.

Are there any you could recommend that are similar to xfce? The main priority is performance and out-of-the-box sane defaults and usability.

Thank you!

    I have been using xfce on top of wayfire (on Arch) for several months now and it works for me. If you want, you can even try out wayfire by itself and easily switch back and forth between the two.
