Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

As an XFCE user, I dislike the reputation that xfce is only useful for low end old hardware.

We’re talking about specifically for beginners, it’s not nearly as good for beginners as KDE is. You like xfce because you’re used to it and it works for you, but KDE supports a vastly wider variety of usecases, for example, try having two-screen setup with one screen having a 4k display at 144hz, and the other a 1080p screen at 60hz

This will be impossible to get working properly on xfce. There’s not even a warning, it’ll just act very strangely without explaining itself.

there’s also the same issues with security that cinnamon has. XFCE does work, but there’s no reason to recommend it to someone who doesn’t already use/like it over KDE.
