After two years of development, the Xfce 4.20 desktop environment has been released, featuring a classic desktop that consumes minimal system resources. The key new feature in Xfce 4.20 is experimental support for the Wayland protocol. A Wayland session covers most of the features, but is recommended only for advanced users, as it is not yet free from errors and requires additional patches for normal daily use. The command "startxfce4 --wayland" is suggested for launching the Wayland session.
Xfce 4.20 offers a retro look while introducing modern features such as improved performance, a new icon theme, and enhancements to the file manager. This release supports various Linux distributions, including Ubuntu and Debian. If you're looking for a lightweight, customizable, and stable desktop environment, Xfce 4.20 is definitely worth considering.
