Hello. I recently upgraded to Trisquel 8.0. You've done an excellent job on that so thanks.

I played around with desktop environments a little on an HDD before picking one to install on my SSD. My verdict is this:


- GNOME - too heavy. Only in Trisq 7 anyway

- KDE - WAY too heavy.

- MATE / LXDE / XFCE - All quite similar but I like XFCE the best (nicer default programs, easier to customise how I like, marginally better performance)

However, XFCE, unlike MATE and LXDE, are not available as standard in Trisq 8, I.e. Trisquel 8 = MATE, Triskel 8 = KDE, Trisquel mini 8 = LXDE. Therefore, I have to install one of those and then swap out the DE for XFCE, which is a pain.

This leads me to the fairly obvious idea of... Can you please add XFCE as a standard DE in Trisquel 9 please? Ubuntu does it (lubuntu and xubuntu).

Thanks, Stevo
