Lightweight

Since Xfce filled the void left by GNOME 3 (#Newfound popularity), many consider that it focused more on being feature-rich than lightweight, e.g. in comparison to LXDE. See e.g. , but I don't know what sources could be used. outlines some requirements but I'm not sure how they were calculated; measures memory usage (not third party but probably ok); maybe. --Nemo 16:00, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

To XFCE or not to XFCE, that is the question.

I find it strange to have a page starting with

   "Xfce or XFCE (pronounced as four individual letters)"

and learn a bit later that

   "it is no longer capitalized as 'XFCE'".

How about something like

   "Xfce (formerly XFCE, pronounced as four individual letters)"

?

(There are a few other instances of 'XFCE' in the page.) 90.33.60.1 (talk) 07:10, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Not sure but I think it can be stylized either way; in the logo for instance it is XFCE. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 10:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
While one version of their FAQ (https://wiki.xfce.org/faq) states it used to be all-caps XFCE, a similar FAQ (https://docs.xfce.org/faq) says it used to be XFce (due to the XForms origin). While many traces of XFce can be found, such as archived versions of the SourceForge page from 2001 that show a mix of the original XFce and Xfce, there are very little official mentions of XFCE. I have now entirely removed "XFCE" from the lead section, added a source for it, and elaborated a bit about the name in the History section. MichielN (talk) 19:35, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Downgraded, unreliable sources

I found that a lot of the sources in this article come from non-independent sources from xfce.org; user-generated ones such as wiki.xfce.org (a wiki), and other unreliable, primary sources.

Some of the sources are being used to support statements for which they are a non-independent primary source; for example, xubuntu.org, emmabuntus.org, wiki.debian.org, etc.

There is also a {{citation needed}} tag in the section Xfce § Xfce 4.0 - 4.10.

I have downgraded it to C-class, because it seems to fail the first criterion of the B-class criteria for lacking reliable referencing. ozmoozmo@enwiki (talk:contribs) 22:45, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
