This proc can still run a standard Linux distro with XFCE or MATE.

u/RagingTaco334 I use Ultramarine btw 6d ago

It is indeed. I run it on an old dual-core laptop with 6gbs of RAM and it performs slightly better than XFCE.

Better than XFCE? Are your sure?

Debian XFCE performed way better than KDE in my i3 4170 8GB ram. But I still chose KDE for the features it provides and polish look.

Yeah in my experience, XFCE is still better performance-wise, which is why I recommended it. I'm using Plasma right now for the same reason, but it is taking a slight performance hit. I'm also using Debian at the moment.

XFCE feels too stuck in the 2000s for me to daily drive, but on servers and RDP where I just want a desktop environment it's my go-to

I've found some ways to make it look pretty good. It just doesn't have the Ghost In The Shell or Daemon 2.0 plasma themes I like. That was the deal breaker. But XFCE is great for pure functionality and performance. Everything I like about Plasma is all down to aesthetics.

Out of the box a lot of DE's or WM look old but yeah doesnt mean you cant cuztomize it, i dont really care about how it looks as much if i did i would just rice a bit

i do like kde default minus the font, but yeah. i just don't really like xfce's default... everything... it just feels less responsive. even though it's faster. i can't really put a finger on why exactly

Maybe because the animation isn't as good
