Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment which omits many of the visually appealing features (such as animations) present in other desktop environments such as [[KDE Plasma]] and [[GNOME]]. These omissions allow Xfce to run much more smoothly on low-end [[personal computer]]s.<ref name="mte-review">{{cite news |last1=Perkins |first1=John |title=Xfce Review: A Lean, Mean Linux Machine |url=https://www.maketecheasier.com/xfce-review/ |access-date=16 November 2024 |work=Make Tech Easier |date=21 July 2020}}</ref>
