Xfce is way too minimal to be great. An great DE must be written mostly in JavaScript and hoard gigabytes of memory in order to render a single window.

If I understand the target of your snark, Gnome shell on my machine uses 172MB of RAM, if I sum all other gnome-related stuff (gdm-wayland-session, gjs, gnome-session-service, etc), it's 200MB.

Hardly GB. You don't have to lie to make a point.

yeah, i have a couple older machines and tried xfce and it wasn't really worth it memory wise, sure xfce is probably lighter but it's easily less than 100 meg difference

I wish there was a Chrome extension to filter out snarky meme comments like these.

I just don’t see the point in posting something like this aside from baiting an argument. There’s nothing about JS or Electron in this article.
