“Prominent new features and visual changes you can’t fail to notice are a regular attraction in desktop environments like GNOME and KDE Plasma. Xfce is more conservative. It may sound like a con to some, but for people who want a reliable, predictable desktop that doesn’t change out from under them, it’s a major plus point.
Why am I telling you that? Because the “desktop” changes mentioned below could, to some, seem rather minor or inconsequential when viewed against the major DEs. Even so, they’re buffs to the core Xfce user-experience that are welcome.”
