Benchmarks comparing Gnome, LXQt, XFCE, and KDE on EndeavourOS vs Canonical (Ubuntu)
Using Sysbench, HTOP, and Neofetch I ran benchmarks on identical virtual machines with Gnome, LXQt, XFCE, and KDE as desktop environments. Each was done on EndeavourOS (a rolling Arch Linux release) vs Canonical (Ubuntu/Debian release). I expected EndeavourOS to run faster since it was the lighter weight distribution, but that was not always the case. Fun little comparison done on my personal computer.

Addendum Comparing LXQt and XFCE
Переглядів 10119 годин тому
Benchmark Stats on comparing performance on LXQt and XFCE to the two most popular Linux desktop environments: Gnome and KDE. In the original video I had not included KDE. After researching, I discovered KDE is the most popular Linux Desktop environment worldwide and I felt it should be included. Benchmarks were performed with Sysbench, HTOP, and Neofetch.

    The first thing I noticed is that the LXQT menu is different from the one we have on Lubuntu and Debian. I thought it was a customised menu that Endeavour OS have added until I read on the LXQT website that they have changed the menu in LXQT 2. Which we don't have on Lubuntu or Debian. So we have still got the old start menu that looks a bit like LXDE's but with the search bar. The new one looks much nice but the problem with LXQT is that there are not as many customisation options as in other desktops. The XFCE menu is also different on Endeavour OS from the Whisker Menu we have on Debian and Ubuntu. It seems that both desktops have had new features added in the new versions. As Endeavour is based on Arch you probably get the new versions of software and desktops before we do on Debian.

      I just did a little video yesterday comparing the 4 Desktop Environments on EndeavourOS vs Canonical releases of the same. I did not show screen shots of the environments, but just showed the results of testing, but you are correct. I was surprised that Canonical did outperform EndeavourOS in several instances. However, you are correct. The Arch based system was using newer releases of all the Desktop Environments and a 6.12.7 Linux Arch Kernel.

      @@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 LXQT has only been released a few months ago. Which does include the new menu which is called the Fancy Menu. When I looked on Distrosea that lets you try out Linux distros I saw that Lubuntu Noble 24.04 which is the LTS version doesn't have the new menu. It's still using the old LXQT menu. But the 24.10 version of Lubuntu has got the new menu. Though when I tested it out although it looks better than the old menu it never found everything I searched for. So the old menu is better for that. Debian and Ubuntu have only just updated to QT6 and Plasma 6. Which is broken on Debian and Ubuntu as there are some bugs. It could be because they are still trying to change everything over from QT5 to QT6. The thing I don't like about LXDE and LXQT is that there is no way to customise the desktop with system notification sounds. Where as in the other desktops you can by using Dconf Editor but that doesn't work on LXDE or LXQT. Also both desktops are not as user friendly as Cinnamon or Mate if you compare them to those. That's why I don't use LXQT. LXDE is no longer supported anyway as it's not been updated for 4 years. Though Debian and Ubuntu still supports it. As it's listed in their choice of desktop environments during the install of Debian. I would use it myself.

    For me Xfce is no longer the lightweight DE and I have no reason to use it anymore, I'd rather use Cinnamon or KDE Plasma than Xfce. The performance I had is similar in all 3 DEs on a i5 1st gen 4 gb ram computer. At least Cinnamon and KDE Plasma have more features. Gnome, Deepin and Kylin are the most resources extensive (almost unusable on i5 1st gen 4 gb ram) I had the best experience with LXQt and Mate on a potato laptop.

      I strongly recommend the EndeavourOS I used in the video for a couple of reasons. When you go to install from the ISO, it gives the option of almost any desktop environment. Desktop hopping isn't really distro hopping because it has the same Linux underneath. If you are beginning to really try different Linux the Debian variants are the easiest to start with: Ubuntu, Mint, and its different flavors. Debian itself always feels klunky to me, but that is personal preference. On my other channel - www.youtube.com/@Dr.LinuxPresents, I do a series of different distro tours.

Nova was by far the worst launcher that I've tried and yet it's one of the most popular launchers out there. One problem, among many, that I found with it was that it did not support folders. The problem I have with the default Fire Launcher is that it does not let you control recommendations and content and that it severely limits the ability for user customization of the layout, icons, etc..

    Good intro to KDE on Kubuntu👍 KDE is the best, and Kubuntu and openSUSE are the best implementations of it. I wish Kubuntu team could put Software Sources in a separate entry in the System Settings, its hard to find when its only under Drivers. Maybe its difficult to do in KDE, no idea. I have Kubuntu appearance stock, just added the window on top button to window title bars. Firefox snap app, no complaints here, it's not that slow on startup after a fresh reboot.

      Thanks for the comment. I have been using KDE for about a year, I have been running Linux since around 2000. I do enjoy the most recent rendition of KDE.

    Would it be possible to use a bread pan and cover with aluminum foil or is the Dutch oven necessary?

      I have not tried it with brad pan and aluminum foil. The thing about the Dutch oven is it holds in the steam from the bread to give it the characteristic crust of artisan bread. If you could seal it tightly enough, the foil may work, but almost every home artisan bread recipe uses a Dutch oven. Try the foil. I would be interested in how you make out!

    Old System Admin here. Good video!!!! I would like to add 2 other things to help rejuvenate old PC hardware beside installing any good/awesome Linux distro. (1) Invest $20 into replacing the boot drive with a 120GB SSD. And... (2) Invest in more RAM if you can. But.... By far for the least amount of money.... A SSD Upgrade will give you a great performance-boost! eBay is a good place to find cheap used RAM.

      Great point Jon! I totally agree. SSD grossly enhances speed. The clip of the rehabbed computer in the video was a grandmother giving it to a 7 year old grandson to play Minecraft. I had to work with what I had there. Someone had cloned a 1 TB mechanical drive into that computer before I got to it. It was limited by the mechanical drive's speed. An SSD would have made it really clip along!
