XFCE and well, straightforward usage without endless tweaking and customization. On the other side, I recently(~2 years:)) felt in love with tiling window manager BSPWM and keyboard-driven usage.

I also don’t mirror, just switch from laptop to external and vice versa. Strange because lighdtm doesn’t break anything for XFCE, quite interesting what is the reason

maybe I’m just one of very few that have external resolution lower than host

lightdm on both machines, any tips (besides installing xfce settings) how to achieve this scaling?:) strange, but I will try sddm
