According to multiple credible sources in the Linux world and the KDE developers, XFCE now uses more memory than Plasma 5.17, due to Plasma bringing better and faster updates. Even the XFCE folks admit XFCE is somewhat getting out of hand. This was tested on a minimal install of Plasma, without the entire KDE ecosystem. So if you are concerned with memory usage and use a "build-it-yourself" distribution like Arch, avoid XFCE and install Plasma by itself. See More
Has all the features missing in so called "light weight" DEs and still uses less system ressources than them. Outperforms even Openbox, XFCE, LXDE and others. Very fast and efficient. Without all the bloat from Qt4 or 5. Highly modular - Can be installed as a WM only, without other KDE3-components (minimal installation). Very stable and fully featured desktop experience that runs even on the oldest PCs. Good compatibility to modern Qt4+ and GTK 3+ Apps. Still gets updates and fixes from TDE and OpenSUSE (KDE3/qt3 team and mailinglist). No security bugs found for a long time. See More
Trinity is every customizable, almost every aspect of the GUI can be changed to look like you want. Need a button in the toolbar? You can add it. You want a specialized toolbar in a certain part of the screen? You can add it. You can configure the GUI in the setup before the first run too. See More
Some apps have really rough edges, for example: Caja: by open an SVG-file and get a Dialog with 4 Buttons(Run in Terminal, Display, Cancel & Run) at least two of them make no sense. You can also right click on them to choose the application, however your default application for that filetype is not on this list. Panel: Empty panel applets are about 1px wide so you really cant resize or move them to organize your panel. See More
