Not even LXDE? It doesnt have as many features but its tolerable for a KDE user.
Looks like Void had been voided.......

Re: Void Linux
I'm not at all a fan of LXDE. I can TOLERATE LXQT, but still not a fan as it's just missing tooooooo many features that I want, and I can only use it for very short amounts of time before I get fed up with it's limitations.

Re: Void Linux
Interesting. I like KDE and use it quite a bit but Im really tied to any one DE and use quite a few. Gnome 3 I dont like but have used it otherwise, XFCE,LXQT,LXDE,Mate,Fluxbox,Cinnamon, and a few others are just fine
Not using TDE any more but also not using Q4OS any more, even though Im playing with the PCLinuxOS TDE version a little.
You hate XFCE but its become my favorite overall. We can at least agree on KDE.

Re: Void Linux
Cinnamon is on par with LXQT for me. It's the only other desktop I can NEARLY tolerate to work in for any extended amount of time.

Re: Void Linux
Both Cinnamon and LXQT are good DEs. Im learning to like Cinnamon but its a tiny bit cranky and Ive had some issues with it but nothing major.
I like LXDE better than LXQT but neither are that important to me.
In terms of pure stability XFCE is by far the best on all my systems.

Re: Void Linux
XFCE is just...FUGLY to me. I've tried to make it look nice, but I just haven't been able to.

Re: Void Linux
No offense but XFCE is far from FUGLY and Im running it with MX17, Mint and Linux Lite and its a great looking desktop.
Mint uses it and the desktop pretty much looks like Windows 7 but you can change it to your hearts content.
The only DE I dislike is Gnome 3.

Re: Void Linux
Our tastes are probably different. I find XFCE to be horribly ugly. I've spent days trying to theme it and I just can't find a theme that I can bear to look at. Everything I do just screams Gnome2 or MacOS to me, and I want nothing that looks like either of those.

Re: Void Linux
Gnome 2 or MacOS ????? None of my XFCE desktops look even remotely close to either of those. Gnome 2/Mate now has additional interfaces so it really doesnt look like the old Gnome 2 any more.
Only the older XFCE implementations look like MacOS and I honestly havent seen one in quite sometime and I use a lot of XFCE with over 15 distros.
Our tastes cant be that different as I like Cinnamon and KDE just as you do.

Re: Void Linux
You should create a thread with some screenshots of your XFCE. The only XFCE I've used recently (last 6 months) is Gallium OS, and I managed to use that a whole 2 hours before I had to put something on there to replace it.
