There are several desktop environments based on GTK besides GNOME, such as #Budgie, #Cinnamon, #LXDE, #MATE, #Unity, #XFCE. They are the standard for many operating system distributions.

GNOME Web can also be perfectly used on other desktops, such as those based on the Qt library (KDE, LXQt, Deepin etc). It's just that it takes advantage of already-loaded GTK libraries, saving resources and being more integrated with the rest of the system.

I created a launcher on my #lxde panel for firefox. When I next logged in it had vanished. So I created it again. The next time I logged in there were two of them. Now I cannot decide whether to get rid of one, or leave them both for safety in numbers. #linux #debian

Everyone talking about how cool #Gnome is, you know I've never even tried it in my life, I've seen some videos, and I can't stand that little foot.😂
i tried #KDE for a few months years ago and immediately put #LXDE now #IceWM the best.😎 #Linux

@dwarmstrong @osnews

Yep, and #OpenBox isn't a bad choice either. If you've used #Raspbian's default desktop, then you've used OpenBox: as that's the window manager they use (part of the #LXDE desktop).

Another good one I've used in the past is #FluxBox -- one feature I like about it is that you can group windows from disparate applications into a single tabbed window by dragging the title with the right mouse button.

in the end since #LXDE in #Ubuntu has problems with #Blender, I decided to use #IceWM, it is only less than 8Mb installed use 4.5mb of RAM and which doesn't create any problems, I would say that I don't need anything else. #b3d #Linux

@thelinuxcast on most of my recent #Linux installs I just have #XFCE. My wife has a few on her laptop as thay was the first computer we switches to Linux, this it has been our testing unit. I knownit has #KDE, XFCE, #AwesomeWM, #Openbox , #I3, #Gnome, and I think #Budgie

Edit: oh my little mango pi is rocking XFCE, #LXDE, and Openbox

@benjaminhollon @mitch

I think it came out pretty good dudes. I have dubbed the #LXDE session "Bevis" and the #XFCE session "Butthead." I will upload that set-up later.

Oh, and I have #Openbox as a session too!

Using more and more #Linux every day I learn something new, today I found that I can use a different X Manger on #LXDE that uses #OpenBox as default manger, I noticed that now I can also choose #IceWM instead of OpenBox, but I prefer OpenBox aesthetically. Anyway I wiped all every app that as the word xfce in the descriptions or name.😎

But now I've seen that I also have #LXQt with #OpenBox, when I have to do intense work sessions, and rendering is the optimal solution, even Moi3D looks like lightning, with large assemblies I seem to have a very powerful computer😍 #LXDE #Linux

Yeah now my OS #Ubuntu is powered by #Lubuntu switched from #Xubuntu without troubles! #LXDE works smooth and I removed everything that referred to #Xubuntu. and #XFCE 🥳🥳

I don't know if you believe it, but now that I've installed #LXDE instead of #XFCE, also VLC no longer activates the fans to see a video in full screen, before to see a 480p video in full screen, every time the fans started.
XFCE? No thanks! 😅 #Linux #Ubuntu

@berkough @necrxfagivs thanks guys! Based on your feedback this is what I’m thinking (heavy to light):

#Gnome
#KDE
#Unity
#Cinnamon
#XFCE
#MATE
#lxde #lxqt

Would that look about right?

Can somebody re-sort this from most heavy to most light DE?

How do I set a fixed name for apps on an Ubuntu lxde taskbar? #lxde

The more I use #XFCE in #Ubuntu 22.04 the more I realize it is a very bad Desktop manager compared to the new #LXDE. #Linux #opensource

@jpaskaruk I am a window arranger too. It's very time consuming. This is my desktop at the moment. I'm in Puppy on an older 32-bit netbook with a neon icon theme, browsing in #Palemoon & writing posts in #Leafpad. The DE is JWM which is lighter & more rustic than XFCE, but this distro also has #LXDE with a switch.

What I booted looked nothing like this but I manually adjust each boot because it is all in ram & I am not saving the adjustments. That is primarily for security.

Luckily I do not have your mouse problem in XFCE. The only other DE I use is MATE, but I think of it as luxurious for a more powerful machine.

@torspedia @w84death The installer looks like #Debian, and I can tell you for a fact that Debian will fit just fine on 8 GB of storage because I was almost able to install it on 2 GB (ended up going with 3 GB) in a VM and after installation it was using about 1 GB plus a swap partition. Admittedly that's for a very minimal system, but that does leave plenty of room for whatever you want to add beyond a basic bootable text-based system.

Try #Xfce or #Lxde for a low-resources desktop environment.
