I want to build a void linux based system with awesomeWM window manager

But immediately there was a question about the choice of DE

After googling I realized that xfce and lxqt are suitable for me.

Which one should I use?

  • Both have good file managers. XFCE has more options for visual customisation in my opinion. Memory usage is similar. I think XFCE works better with multiple monitors. I use LXQt and it is a little quirky—but that may be related to Openbox.
