I would say it's extremely lightweight. Do keep in mind that the original KDE 3 came out in 2002. TDE doesn't really feature any earth-shattering changes compared to how KDE was before Plasma released.Hi to everyone!A simple question: how much is lightweight TDE in comparison with LXDE, LXQT and XFCE? Is it, perhaps, a middleweight? If it can be of interest, here is a discussion about ''lightness''. https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchm … t-vs-xfce/ <https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchmark-memory-usage-lxqt-desktop-environment-vs-xfce/>Thanks for the attention and have a nice evening/day. Kind regards. Gian
In my experience, a fresh Trinity session is less than 500 MB, and that's after opening Steam, Psi+, protonmail-bridge and gerbera since those are in my .xinitrc file. Your mileage will vary. On my main system I have only run TDE with the base packages.
I like to look at it this way: TDE is based off of one of the flagship DEs with a lot of features you would expect to find, compared to many of the options which are built from the ground up to be lightweight. If you are judging this based off of a performance-to-quality ratio like I would, TDE stands on top. The only serious drawback are the bugs on some more special setups, since this is ancient software. If there is extra performance gained by XFCE I personally can't see the benefit unless the desktop experience is on par or better, at a certain point the performance reaches a plateu where it becomes redundant.
Choose whatever works best in your experience, but I would go with TDE. You can also install the others all at once and try them out from the session manager if you would like to see what your personal preference leans towards.
