Tried the Xfce version on a PC that I needed for some browser work only (Discord server moderation). The installation was a bit scary but not too bad.

Then I was greeted by an HDD boot speed comparable to my gaming PC with an NVMe. I still miss that now when the PC is running Arch (btw).

When it comes to issues, I only remember a missing screenshot utility (fixed with 1 command) and fonts (can’t remember if I ended up fixing it).

I tried installing a bare system and then installing the best DE (which is GNOME.) but I had to configure Xorg and Wayland myself and uhh I failed miserably. Still wanna do it though.
