Best Desktop Environment for 4GB RAM and SSD?
Asked by

I'm looking for a lightweight desktop environment since I only need it for browsing a few tabs and making Discord calls while multitasking. Currently, I'm using Hyprland but I want to switch back to a full desktop environment. XFCE isn't working for me as it feels buggy and choppy. Here are my specs: I'm on Fedora Linux 43 with an Intel i5 CPU, Intel UHD Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. Any suggestions for a smooth experience?

I’ve had good luck with LXQt. It’s lightweight but does come with some default themes that might not look great—so you’ll want to find a better theme to make it look nice. It should perform well with your setup!

You might want to try MATE. It uses a bit more RAM than some other environments, but it can be pretty smooth. KDE Plasma could also be an option; I think it works fine on lower RAM setups if you adjust some settings.
