For anyone curious about what I ended up doing with the ubuntu server desktop environment. I ended up setting up a docker for #GameOnWhales wolf to have a minimal #xfce desktop on demand. It's snappy and working great for my audio editing workload! Thanks for all the suggestions!
xfce4-terminal
is really fantastic, #Xfce as a whole stands out for empowering users. Compared to other GTK-based environments like GNOME or, perhaps, Cinnamon (which I’ve used less extensively), Xfce delivers unmatched granular control across its tools. It’s a philosophy of flexibility! xfce4-terminal
, its GUI menu also allows you to set tabs name and even color. With #GameOnWhales (#GOW) you could install #xfce on #Docker and connect it with a #MoonlightClient (#Gamestream technology).

Be aware, GOW is in heavy development currently there is no user management. (User by connected Device)
I like my Debian Xfce distro so much I made a wallpaper for it featuring some Linux mascots.
Vector artwork made entirely in Inkscape (with sketches done in Krita).

Currently using Xfce4 to have a working DE while I setup and configure all my apps like, Jellyfin, PiHole, and more.
To all users of Zorin OS ‘Lite’: this lightweight version using the #XFCE desktop environment will no longer be developed or maintained beyond Zorin OS 17 and 18 (end of support and maintenance in June 2029).
2 solutions:
migrate to the Core, Pro or Education versions of Zorin OS
change GNU/Linux distribution
The official reasons for this decision are detailed in this article: https://help.zorin.com/docs/getting-started/getting-zorin-os-lite/

My nerd moment lately: having moved to Nextcloud and LibreOffice, I now have a much stronger usecase for using Linux in my day-to-day. I have installed Mint Xfce on a tiny shitty laptop (I'm talking 2gb RAM and 30gb SSD shitty) and I tweaked the settings using a guide, and I think it could really do the job for working on documents while out and about. I'm planning to just use it for editing documents via Nextcloud, and light web browsing.
#linux #foss #xfce
Indeed.
Aside from all of the other work going on, there is also a concerted effort to migrate from using #autotools to #meson for builds.
#xfce is dropping a 4.21 dev release, and all I can think is… damn, we moving fast for xfce.
in OpenBSD with Xfce, when I have a link in another application, including Thunderbird, those links have been opening in Chromium, even though my default browser in the Xfce settings is Firefox.
There's another place where this is set, and this Stack Exchange post lays it all out.
During 1990s - 2000s I ran #Linux and #BSD.
I started my #unix journey on SunOS OpenWindows and Solaris CDE - both elegant desktops.
I wanted that sweet spot again:
lightweight
not distracting or visually busy - don't give me a headache
stay out of my way, I want to work
high quality elegant design
just enough convenience, but no more
I settled on the #XFCE desktop, which started in 1996 as a Linux version of CDE.
Hey everyone...
As promised, work on the Multi-DE script is done. I hope it helps you get started with Arch..

Hey #Thunar nerds: is there a way of previewing text files in the Thunar window? Kinda annoying to have to open things in the text editor.

On my wife's laptop, when it was on Ubuntu 22.04 on XFCE if the laptop lid was closed to put the laptop to sleep sometimes it wouldn't resume correctly and the mouse would not register clicks and the keyboard wouldn't type unless you did Control-Alt-F1 then back to X with Control-Alt-F8.
After some more digging I discovered both TLP and ACPI were trying to suspend the laptop when you closed the lid so I disabled the suspend in TLP. Then I think I found either ConsoleKit or Upower was trying the same thing.
Anyway, her laptop had to get a minor repair (power pin became loose from the board) when it came back I reformatted it, put Void Linux on it with Mate and only the services needed and it never, ever had that suspend/resume buggy input device problem again.
... Work never stops
In my spare time, I have been hard at work on a script that will be combining all DE install scripts into one, with exception of #Cosmic which will remain standalone for now. Instead I added #XFCE.
Once testing is complete, will update the Wiki with new instructions.
P.S : No, there are no plans to create an XFCE spin of the Distro.
