In February 2021, Xfce, one of the lightweight desktop environments for GNU/Linux distributions, received a bunch of updates for its apps and core components.

The star of this month is Xfce’s Task Manager, which received two updates for its stable 1.4.x series up to version 1.4.2, to implement better color that works well with both light and dark themes, as well as to fix various bugs.

In addition, development kicked off on the next major Task Manager series that will come with the Xfce 4.18 release, which introduces many changes and improvements, including support for Client-side decorations (CSD), the migration of all of its settings to the Settings dialog, port to xfconf, and much more.

I don't run it now, but I have run plenty of Xfce in the past.

Xfce is more important than ever, especially because it's getting to be impossible to run GNOME on BSD distros due to systemd and Wayland dependencies. I'm not sure what the status of KDE is, but I have heard that it's also difficult/impossible to run Plasma on BSD.

If anybody knows the real situation, do tell.
