They would be installed, but not all running at the same time. It can handle it, because it would not be handling anything different.
On the old notebook, I had installed at one point all at the same time:
You praise me with faint damns. Sadly, utterly untrue and I spend more time stumped or lost trying to help others on the forum than I do actually knowing anything.
It isn’t CPU or RAM that is constrained, it is the minimal HDD root partition I have. Every app and update etc has to justify its existence.
I'm an idiot - why am I even a mod on here? Oh that's right, Aravisian recommended me. You guys sure you want to be taking advice from him?
Turns out I had changed my password at some point to add two more characters - I don't recall why or when. My phone password list showed it. So, now I'm back on with my computer. God, I hate phones - I don't know how people use them for long-term typing.
Anyway, I took the extra time to install Ultimate Lite and now I'm on Xfce. I like it except:
I haven't played any taxing games yet, so I can't opine on that. Maybe down the line.
PS - Still interesting though that the forum refused to send me a password reset email since it did recognize my registered email. Oh well. Don't ever lose your password.
Your beginning statement was hilarious Carmar. Yes, we still wan't you to continue being a moderator, cause I sure as heck don't want to be one. LOL
As with any distro, its a learning experience. And I bet you can find ways around those issues you expressed in the future. In the meantime, you will notice how much more customisable it is.
Play around with it, have fun, I know you will!
Careful saying that around the Zorins. I am pretty sure I am on their Kill List right now. You might end up demoted.
Glad you got PW issue fixed, though.
Hit ctrl+e to make expandable treeview.

Not sure what you mean on this one.
Thanks for the ctrl+e - the expandable is only in the left pane (a la Windows), in Gnome it was on the right pane, but that's good enough.
I could have sworn I didn't see the display brightness before but I see it now under the battery system tray. I'm losing it - my only explanation.
By dragging, I meant when I drag files/folders around the desktop when sorting them, if I get too close to a folder, the file is moved inside of it. I've learned to be careful, but in Gnome, I could get right up next to another folder without getting sucked into it. No biggie, I've learned to be careful.
And as ST noted earlier, Xfce is very customizable. Gnome wasn't bad but still had fewer features. Such as the Session and Startup manager.
Are you referring to Desktop Icons or within the file manager itself? I just tested on Thunar and it does not auto-drop a file into another folder, even if I hover all over the top of it and wink a little bit.
So what about the updates and changes in Gnome 40, what do the XCFE- and the Gnome-users think about Gnome 40 ?
I found this line from your link interesting:
Be it Flatpak or distribution packages, GNOME Software now tells you where you’re installing your software from.
Some work happened behind the scenes to improve how Software presents information about new packages.
Interesting. I changed corsair mouse to logitech g502 and my linux working 2 days good.
We will see how long i uninstalled snap and flatpak.
Using xfce DE.
I know it is not really 'on-topic' but for me the way forward should be:
Plasma (KDE), for Core, and LXQt (the even lighter version of LXDE which it was made to replace - not saying same devs but where I read somewhere). Plus Plasma and LXQt share the same Qt libraries - so good compatibility! Whenever I run LXQt I see my Plasma apps in the Menu!
Gnome want be like a big elephant fb Zuckeberg.
Gnome is becoming like Henry Ford when he launched the 'Model-T' that my Grandfather had - "You can have any colour you want ... so long as it is black!"
That is not from the ZorinGroup.
But as you tagged the Zorins, they should be aware of that pretty soon. 
Lite sounds a bit like stripped down. In fact, it is not. I've installed it on my HD because I knew what I was doing and I must say this is the most elegant version of Xfce I've ever seen (bear in mind my first Linux was Ubuntu 4.10 Warty Warthog and from that day I've always used Linux on my desktops). Actually, IMHO Lite is much more elegant than the Gnome edition because "it is the way it is" without extensions and workarounds. It's cleaner. It's not even a "pure" Xfce because of Gedit, Registers, Baobab, Disks and some other software taken from Gnome...
Ok, I could talk about it for hours but I stop here. Just to say thay maybe Lite is not the best name for it.
I could not agree more. It really bothers me how the Zorin Downlaod page refers to the Gnome desktop as the "Advanced" desktop and to lite as "For older computers...." This is not an accurate portrayel.
I would honestly consider XFCE to be the "Advanced" desktop, if I were forced to use the word, since it comes complete, fully fleshed out and Whole - unlike Gnome. Gnome needs all manner of Extensions; many of which cause troubles of their own.
I must sayed I liked very much Zorin XFCE with only .deb packages. Uninstalled snap and flatpak.
