I got introduced to it via Fedora for arm. With ONLY 1Gb on my
Cubieboard2, it is nice that the desktop does not eat up all your
memory. Particularly when I am only running with a SD card (I do have
sata drive builds as well).
So I am more using Xfce and might even do my F21 beta on a notebook
with it as well. Skip gnome all together on the next upgrade.
So, between xfce and lxde, which one consumes less ram?
