Well, XFCE is highly configurable. The default layout looks a bit dated, but do not be fooled by this. With a bit of tweaking, you can make it look very modern and appealing. Start by changing your desktop background and installing a different theme, for example arc-theme. Next, install a different icon theme. The moka-icon-theme looks pretty good to me. The default application menu looks a bit simplistic and misses a search feature. Try replacing it with the whisker menu. Details on this can be found in the tutorial about how to install and configure the XFCE whisker menu. […]

I personally prefer this for my Raspberry PIs. I can highly recommend giving this a try. For more information, refer to the article about how to install the XFCE desktop environment on a Raspberry PI. […]

If your Raspberry PI 4 doesn’t boot, requires a really long time to boot or you experience poor read/write performance, this might be the cause of your problem. In this case, refer to the article with the fix for getting your SSD working via USB 3.0 on your Raspberry PI 4. […]

The speed of the SD-card interface did unfortunately not really change over the years. Consequently, the SD-card read and write speed becomes more of a performance bottleneck. The SD-card is prone to corruption as well. Just ask someone who runs their Raspberry PI 24/7 as a server. You can solve this latter problem by moving the root file system to an external USB drive.
