XFCE vs KDE - Valtam - 12-21-2019
I've been noticing on the Internet there is talk of KDE catching up to XFCE in terms of performance and memory usage.
Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to see if there was anything in it, and yeah, they are pretty close now.
A quick LL build of KDE...

How has that happened? KDE on par with Xfce?! Not long ago I would have thought it impossible.

That's cool. Always thought KDE looked really nice but never tried it as my laptop isn't the most powerful machine.

Doing LL on KDE would require running a simultaneous project, would it not?

Not long ago I would have thought it impossible.The main difference is that KDE has a massive, almost inexhaustible supply of developers, where as XFCE have just a handful. I really like KDE and how close it is to Windows and the level of configuration available. Plasma is really nice too.

All those KDE developers, you'd think they could complete the APIs for wayland. I came up on Linux KDE stuff after the mainframe era and moved from Suse to Kubuntu but gave up on their stuff after a while as it grew heavier. Now those reasons all seem unimportant given modern hardware. Of late I have been having a very good experience with Debian 10 gnome on wayland and I expect KDE will get there too in the next two years and be on wayland (not Xwayland) on Debian stable. I wonder how XFCE (which has become very popular on Debian) will deal with that future. I would guess they will continue on Xwayland and not develop any specific DE wayland APIs, or maybe just wait for KDE to finish theirs and port those.

How does KDE get this popularity if so many people seem to have had abandoned it?

Plasma, QT base, look and feel, and a few superior applications, and a European home office. A full featured (Suse) alternative DE to (RHEL) gnome. XFCE is a small player by comparison.
