Xfce (pronounced as four individual letters)is a free software desktop environment for Unix and other Unix-like platforms, such as Linux, Solaris, and BSD. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.
The current version, 4.8, is meant to be modular and reusable.It consists of separately packaged components that together provide the
full functionality of the desktop environment, but which can be
selected in subsets to create the user's preferred personal working
environment. Xfce is mainly used for its ability to run a modern desktop
environment on relatively modest hardware.
It is based on the GTK+ 2 toolkit (the same as GNOME). It uses the Xfwm window manager, described below. Its configuration is entirely mouse-driven, with the configuration files hidden from the casual user.
Xfce is included as one of the graphical user interfaces on the Pandora handheld gaming system.
It is possible to run Xfce with 40 MB of memory using Alpine Linux.On Ubuntu, tests show that Xfce 4.6 has lower memory usage than GNOME 2.29 and KDE Plasma Desktop 4.4, but higher than LXDE 0.5
