Xfce It's been nearly 18 months since the last major Xfce release - Xfce 4.4, to be exact. Xfce 4.6 was supposed to go final this month, but the Xfce team didn't meet the deadline. Instead, they released the first alpha release of Xfce 4.6, and Phoronix summarises the most important changes, including a number of screenshots.

He never said KDE and Gnome are bloated, just that they use more resources. Which they do, you said it yourself.

I would debate that KDE and Gnome could offer these features while using fewer resources, and I believe XFCE has been doing that as they add features, but that wasn't what the comment you replied to claimed.


No, but he did say "it's known that GNOME and KDE3 are resource hogs"

Same thing. I'm pretty sure being a resource hog and bloated are the same thing in tech world. I used bloated, he used resource hogs, but it boils down to the same thing. Which I disagreed with.
