So, a while back I installed Xfce with Chicago95, but was disappointed. Xfce just doesn’t vibe with me, and a strict emulation of Windows95 is not really what I wanted, I just wanted something that “felt” that classic.

So I was gonna give up and just use KDE, until I saw TDE. I think TDE is probably what I’m looking for but I’m concerned about using anything so minor because security.

It TDE secure (for personal use)?

Can a DE even be insecure, or are they all generally as secure as each-other as long as you follow the rules (trustworthy software, closed firewall, install patches fast, and disaster recovery plans)?

What vulnerabilities can a desktop environment even have (edit)?

    Roll up is when you scroll-up while hovering over the title bar and everything except the title-bar disappears. In the image monovergent provided the title bar is highlighted in red.

    I use Linux Mint with Xfce. Gonna change to OpenSUSE once I can be bothered distro-hopping.

    EDIT: Specifically it’s the Font Settings that take forever to load, not all of the settings menu.

      Oh yeh. The font menu is crap. I can’t argue with that.

      It’s one of those mysterious annoying things that’s up there with the GTK file picker in some apps taking 10 seconds to load.

      But I also don’t change fonts that often. Still, that has much room for improvement.
