There is a place for graphically gorgeous distro’s, but when it comes to ease and speed, Xfce is just the best for me.

I started using Xfce when Xubuntu first came out and I switched to Linux Mint Xfce when that started. I did try other distro’s when others recommended them, but always switched back to Xfce.

I have an old Eeepc that runs so smoothly on the latest Mint Xfce despite being a senior in computer years.

And that’s why it was about time I gushed about Xfce on here 😀

    is it even lower demanding than i3?

    Probably not. XFCE provides more than just a window manager; it’s a whole desktop environment. That said, it would be interesting to see quantitatively what the difference in system resource usage actually is.
