Linux system manufacturer System76 introduced a beautiful looking Linux distribution called Pop!_OS. But is Pop OS worth an install? Read the Pop OS review and find out yourself.
Except that XFCE is now more bloated than the current KDE. It uses more memory, and still looks sort of duct taped together, and is starting to suffer from haphazard integration of packages. They aren't even chasing the light-weight image any more. .
On the other hand..... Some of the spinoffs fo XFCE, such as Manjaro's LXDE, and some LXQts are far far lighter and much more elegant.

First of all, LXDE is not a spinoff from XFCE.
Second, i wonder how much of the observed bloat is inherited from Gnome-derived plumbing. Plumbing that XFCE has to adopt as they do not have the manpower to go it alone.
