XFCE is designed to be lightweight and use less system resources. KDE and Gnome would need more system resources to run, and since the old laptop may have limited system resources, you experience the negative impacts. So for an old laptop with limited resources, XFCE is the best choice. They all work fine on a system with ample resources. -- Regards, Rejy M Cyriac (rmc) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
