    Thought XFCE has been a thing for a long time. Even if it wasn’t, neither was resource hogging sugar coated unconfigurable GNOME as we know today.

      Hmm, no, you’re right. XFCE had it’s first release in 1997 vs. 1999 for GNOME. I guess I just didn’t hear about it until GNOME started having controversy.

      Yeah, that might be the real thing. Tails had it’s first release in 2009, and it’s possible they just haven’t moved over yet.
