XFCE the light weight desktop environment for all my needs.

|Xfce
For it's ease of use, if you already know how the windows desktop works, you'll understand how XFCE works, it's just more lightweight than windows therefore it acts quickly and smoothly It's easy to implement in every distro because it's lightweight and flexible. For it's customer support, they don't have one, but they have a big community. I frequently use it daily, 24/7, right now I'm using it as my desktop environment. Since it's lightweight, there's not much features. For that, they only provide essential features such as a clock, battery (if you're on laptop), task manager, and pulseaudio to name a few. For it's ease of integration, it's easy to integrate in multiple distros.

The best lightweight desktop environment for your low-end machine

|Xfce
Xfce is incredibly lightweight and fast, which makes it perfect for both older machines and modern systems where you want maximum performance. The interface is clean, simple, and highly customizable without being bloated. It strikes a great balance between minimalism and functionality, and the stability is rock solid — it just works without getting in the way.

Best Xfce Editor

|mousepad
I have been using mousepad for the last 4-5 years on my Xfce Xubuntu system, which is a good tool. provides multiple features -word wrap, auto-indentation, and search and replace.
