Do I need to install the desktop env when installing a distro or do I need to install blank Linux and install a clean desktop env later? Thank you! 😃👌

    start with something very light (I’d recommend XFCE)

    I use XFCE, but it’s medium at best. It’s barely lighter than KDE and GNOME, and way heavier than the actually light options like LXQT.

    It’s different from the other big DEs, not because it’s significantly lighter, but because it’s extremely stable, and the tools follow the Unix philosophy.
