What is Xfce For Linux?

Xfce

Xfce is an open-source project that gives you a lightweight and easy-to-use desktop environment for GNU/Linux systems. It’s built to be quick and still look great for all those modern Linux users out there!

What Makes Xfce Special?

This software includes a bunch of cool features, like a window manager, desktop manager, panel, session manager, application finder, file manager, and settings manager. When you first use Xfce, you'll notice the default layout has a top panel. This is where you can find the main menu and launch your favorite apps. Plus, there's a dock (which is hidden by default) for easy access to your go-to programs.

Built-in Applications

Xfce doesn't just stop at being a cool desktop; it also comes with its own set of applications! You’ve got Thunar as your file manager, Midori for web browsing, Xfburn if you need to burn CDs or DVDs, and the Xfce Terminal for command-line stuff. Don’t forget about Orage for keeping track of dates and times! Other handy tools include Ristretto for images, Xarchiver for files, Leafpad as a simple text editor, and Parole media player.

Compatibility Galore

You can install Xfce on various UNIX-like platforms. It works on Linux distributions like OpenBSD and FreeBSD too! Supported architectures include x86, x86_64, PPC, Sparc—basically lots of options! Many popular Linux operating systems come with Xfce by default; think about Xubuntu or Manjaro Linux Xfce.

Installing Xfce

If you're using another graphical interface on your GNU/Linux OS right now but want to try out Xfce too? No problem! You can easily install it alongside whatever you're using from the software repositories. Switching between them is super easy when you log in.

A Great Choice for Low-End Machines

Xfce is perfect if you're looking for something that won’t hog your computer’s resources. It’s designed to work well on low-end machines while still being user-friendly!
