Gnome, KDE, & Xfce familiarity
From strife is justice · Mar 12, 2023
Beginning with Gnome in 2007, then along the way Unity was introduced, I skewed toward Xfce because of its feeling being light and efficient. KDE at that time was in versions 3.5 to 4 and felt heavy upon the hardware.
The personal shortcoming of using Xfce with Arch, was the limited packaging of the default install for hardware functionality, while KDE Neon seems to fully load all the necessary packages for hardware functionality.
A favored default behavior of Xfce is the right click application launcher. This feature feels most efficient because of not having to move the cursor for the next intended action.
The KDE setting to behave similar to the Xfce application launcher is linked and within the article being item #9.

How do you like Proton having its server in Switzerland...any issues? I just signed up for the free/limited email service.

Everything has worked well since the inception of Proton’s email & vpn services. Proton VPN server access across the US is well distributed (AZ having 10+ servers).
