Hey new friends

Hello, everyone, I just registered for the forum today. I have been an Xfce user for some years now, and it's the one I always use even on different computers. It also has my favorite 'mascot', I like the cute little rodent. My initial draw to Xfce many years ago was how it looked really nostalgic even though I didn't grow up around Linux computers. Nowadays I don't really use it purely for that nostalgia though, I've used many DEs and WMs to experiment with and try out but I always came back to Xfce.

I use Gentoo and I mostly use my computers for making music and sometimes playing games.

I registered to be more up to date with Xfce development, maybe help newer Xfce/Linux users, and just observe what other users are doing with themes and stuff

Re: Hey new friends

Welcome! What kept you coming back to Xfce after trying other DEs was it mostly the performance, the customization, or just that familiar feel? Also curious, since you’re into music and gaming on Gentoo, have you tweaked your setup in any specific way to optimize for those?
