I think that is why even many distros intended for use by children - even very little children - base their interface on a modified Xfce desktop. And I think it follows the KISS principle (Slackware philosophy) more closely than the others too.

XFCE is the sanest desktop environment available currently. Runs equally good on older hardware. And no matter what people think or say, not everybody in the world uses computers with eight core CPU, 32 GB of RAM, RTX 3090 and 4K display. With a bit of a work, XFCE can be made to look as good as an...

I am reeeeeeally looking forward to this! Thanks so much for the very careful and very detailed work you're doing on this distro.

That's why I like it so much! It's pretty much just the way I like it "straight from the box." I spent only a few minutes changing up the things I wish, like Wallpapers and a couple of software substitutions (Brave in place of Firefox, that sort of thing). Welcome! And enjoy the legendary ...

One of the things I liked best about LL was that they named applications for their functions in the Whisker menu. A newbie wouldn't kno...
