fast bootup
-
sane defaults
-
simple and predictable
-
minimalistic
-
lightdm login manager is healthy with Nvidia and doesn't randomly flicker with it
-
Doesn't get on the way with YaST
-
Pretty default themes
-
auto-mounts devices normally in Thunar, including my PTP camera
-
ALT+SHIFT+TAB actually moves to the to the left!!! (for god sake kde)
-
Reasonable non weird bluetooth app
-
Backwards compatible Tray-Icons
-
Battery detector for bluetooth devices visible out of the box
-
Thankfully no conflicting Software Store with YaST software that battle for Zypper's attention
-
Shortcuts are reasonable
-
Scanner and Printer apps that summarize YaST detected devices
-
Thin title bars with a collapsible option
-
No notifications telling you that "You connected to Wifi!!" or "Spotify is Ready!" and no frequently broken extensions (cof cof).
Seriously, did anyone else appreciated the simplicity and focus of XFCE?

Install XFCE on OpenSUSE – Linux Hint
XFCE is designed to have very little memory footprint and CPU usage. When compared against other modern desktop environments like KDE Plasma or GNOME, it’s pretty much clear. Thus, XFCE is also more preferable if you’re running Linux on a low config machine.

August 5, 2021 - There isn't a "minimal install" that includes xfce, but the install process allows you to fully customize your install. You can take xfce with everything openSUSE wants to include, do a minimal command line only install, or anything in-between all from the installer.

June 20, 2020 - Memory usage is slightly higher compared to Debian based Xfce distributions like MX, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint. I was not able to play a .mp4 file with the Parole Media Player, included by default. It offers to install additional codecs when I open a .mp4 file, but nothing happens if I ask to install the same. This problem may be a Tumbleweed issue or a live image specific issue. I was able to play .mp3 file with the default music player included. 01 OpenSUE Welcome02 OpenSUSE Xfce Desktop03 Whisker Menu04 Application Finder05 Thunar File Manager06 Xfce Terminal07 Busy Desktop08 Window Switching
