Xfce desktop?

I tried Gnome for a while, but then moved on to XFCE to see what that felt like. I actually got the idea of running XFCE with the i3 window manager from an old thread over at the Endeavour OS forums, and it works like a charm.

I'm waiting for the next release with the stable version of Cosmic to try it out. Though talking about this has sparked my interests in hopping to see what's out there...

Solus has been on my radar for a long while, so maybe I'll try that.

Nice choice.
It uses eopkg to get/upgrade etc. packages.
The first thing is to do after installation isto run

sudo eopkg up

Or it can be done by software store, but learning eopkg is always nice. :slight_smile:

Solus when I was using it was a very strong distro. Definitely think it's at least worth a look.

I tried Debian last night on my 2008 machine. Everything was fine for an hour but couldn't get flatpak to install anything and searches came up empty. Then the mouse started slowing down so I gave up and restored my backup of Solus.
