I agree, XFCE is there when you need it. No weird experiments, always consistent.
Feels like Win98SE to me (that's a compliment). Love it for that, though back to KDE for my daily driver.
I haven't used Xfce in a long time, but it will always have a soft spot in my heart. It kept my computer usable when I was a teenager, and was the first open source project I contributed to (translations). Congrats to the Xfce team on the new release, and on having hit their stride again, it seems, with the move to GitLab.
Same! I wonder if they added in the ability to make the window resize edges wider than 1pixel yet. So many wasted hours trying to find the resize pixel on all the windows
I can hold Alt and left-click-and-drag to move the window, or Alt and right-click-and-drag to resize. This works from anywhere in the target window. Resize will move the nearest edge or corner to your click.
I like the xfce look and the xfce specific apps unfortunately I tried using xfce on a dell xps 15 laptop and had problems with screen tearing while scrolling up/down. I never found a fix so ended up on KDE.
xrandr --output --set TearFree on

Does anybody know how hard is it to switch from gnome to xfce on arch linux? Is it just removing gnome and installing xfce? Maybe someone could share their experience who has made the switch recently. If it is not a big thing that could potentially break everything, then I'd be happy to try it out.

If you enjoy it enough, you can uninstall Gnome packages. Just make sure not to uninstall GDM unless you want to replace it with something else. I'm sure the Arch wiki has suggestions on the Xfce page.
Thanks to all contributors, I have found a home in XFCE after Ubuntu drop Unity.
Unless, of course, your preferences just changed, or you didn't really like Unity either.

Chicago95 can take that a step further if you like. I'm running KDE lately too (Slackware-current finally got KDE5 recently so I'm trying it out), but XFCE is the old trusty default for me.

Odd how no one has mentioned the addition of client side decorations. Personally it's a huge dealbreaker for me, I really dislike how they look. It's a shame, because the release and Xfce in general otherwise seems really good. Guess I'll stick to MATE for now.

Wow, what a blast from the past. I always wonder though is anyone actually using themes like these as their actual daily driver? Link to the project with Screenshots: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95
