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.

This is a walk through of a high protein bread recipe sent to me by my cousin. It uses cottage cheese and liquid egg whites to enrich the protein content of a white sandwich bread. Each loaf prepared as shown will contain 72 grams of protein. If you cut that into 10 slices, a sandwich will have 14 grams of protein just from the bread!

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.
I just looked it up: latest Linux Kernel is 6.12.8, so the EndeavourOS is running a very late version compared to Canonical's 6.08
@@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 too run Cinnamon on a daily basis. It gives me all sorts of bells and whistles and is very fast on my system. With just this browser and a weather app, my Cinnamon is using 2500 MB. That is substantially more than the LXQt and XFCE systems I tested. What does your Cinnamon run in?
XFCE 4.20 just released a couple of weeks ago which is sweet! Glad the devs are still actively working on it.. I love the XFCE balance between super lightweight, performant and functional while keeping it good looking.
EndeavourOS is using XFCE 4.20. I am working on comparing the EndeavourOS desktop environments vs same on Canonical releases. Xubuntu is currently using XFCE 4.18 - so there is some difference. My wife's desktop runs Liinux Mint XFCE and it too is running 4.18. It makes sense since it is based off Canonical.
As a side note... Gnome is pronounced with a "hard G", LXQt is pronounced "LX Cute", MATE is pronounce "Mah Tay".
So in your garden you hard G gnomes running around? I will take it under advisement, but I have heard it both ways.
😂 No. But I've seen Gnome developers in videos over the years in Q&A situations. And they pronounce it G'nome. Also, watch virtually any other other Linux video where Gnome is the topic and they all pronounce it G'nome.
@@UncleSpellbinder I agree. I have seen it pronounced that way too from GNU. And just for my satisfaction I Googled found:L "Pronouncing GNOME Desktop The official pronunciation of GNOME, the desktop environment, is “guh-NOME,” similar to how “GNU” is pronounced “guh-NEW.” This pronunciation is intended to minimize confusion and aligns with the acronym “GNU Network Object Model Environment.” However, it’s noted that many people pronounce it as “nome” in casual usage." So you are correct!
@@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 About a year ago I read from some Gnome devs that either way is acceptable, so it would seem that either they aren't all agreed on this or don't care.
Is this the I want to interject meme
nice video, but how did you measure the cpu ev (cpu events)? Is it just sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=x run?
Basically - yes. I ran sysbench cpu run command on each VM. It was testing one thread on each. Just FYI, I did install EndeavourOS KDE on an aging i5, 2T hard drive, 16 Gig Ram, dual core machine and it was painfully slow. XFCE did run like a racehorse. So take that under advisement! Thanks!
@@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 try compiling a custom kernel for your system with all security and debug features turned off, set quiet and nosplashscreen with other parameters for the grub boot command and disable all mitigations, its gonna run much faster
Hey I am still watching the vid (which is interesting, well structured imo) and just wanted to ask your opinion on choice of distro as a base for distro hopping through vm's, even though its limitations
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.
Incidentally, I did a 5 minute addendum where I added KDE into the comparison since it is the most popular Linux desktop world wide! Thanks!!
@@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 I second Endeavour. I used it until recently until i found Cachy.OS. CachyOS just seemed to work out better for me on NVIDIA.

wonderful thanks a lot
very very very do very good my friedy!
Looks great! Taylor and I have been experimenting with making our own bread recently, we’ll definitely be giving this a try, great video
I personally am gonna stick with IntelliJ for learning Java rn.
Лучше выбери netbeans или eclips для обучения, да, IJ это стандарт индустрии сейчас, но она скрывает огромное количество кода, тебе не нужно его писать руками и ты не будешь понимать логику того,что происходит у тебя "под капотом", как станешь опытным , ты легко перейдешь на IJ, но с IJ ты никуда уйти не сможешь никогда, придется заново многое выучить,что IJ делала за тебя
I also have the book Very professional done your video, thank you
Thanks!!
Music is too loud.😅
This was my first time seeing one of your videos. I found it interesting and informative. I had trouble hearing you over the music though.
Thanks Susan. Yeah, you are the second person that told me my music is too loud! I thought I had it under control....lol.
@@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 It was pleasant enough. I just felt like I was trying to carry on a conversation in a piano bar seated by the piano. Besides, you have a nice voice that doesn't need musical mitigation.
Thank you. I am very interested in Red Fife wheat. I can tell, that I have been using way too much yeast in my breads. Great tutorial.
Thanks for the kind words. I happened across a recent Canadian immigrant locally one day describing her frustration at not being able to find Red Fife Flour in the US. It is here, but you have to look for it a bit. Interestingly, King Arthur Bread Flour is described as "red wheat" on the side of the bag. Does that mean red fife? I am not sure. It does make great bread, but is not nearly as hearty as the red fife wheat I got from Jane's.
3:43 I think Clément Lefèbvre of linux mint still lives in Ireland so what's up with the 'Technically' bit?
I said that because the original release by Clement Lefebvre was in France in 2006. You are correct, the corporation does reside in Ireland.
Distro hopping is because you should not be using Linux as a desktop. Only masochists' use Linux as a desktop
Im on Debian Trixie and Xanmod kernel. Feels like a rolling release but is very stable.
I use Kali because it’s a rolling Debian release with XFCE. On My MacBook I use Asahi Fedora Linux with KDE because that’s the only Linux supported on M2 Max MacBooks.
Probably will try NixOS on one of my Proxmox servers.
Very informative video! What are your opinions on NixOS (my current distro, w/KDE Plasma), I like it very much. Moved from Arch (it is fun but only if you maintain it right). Started from PopOS>Arch>Fedora>Nobara>Fedora>Arch and then finally on NixOS. And I think it will be Nix for a long time. For servers, I prefer vanilla Debian 12 or Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Also I would suggest to lower the background music, it is too loud sometimes. Looking forward to more fun videos in future!
I apologize, I cannot offer an opinion on NixOS. I have never used it. I have used Neon which is from the developers of KDE and is an Ubuntu branch on the Linux tree. Neon always has the latest KDE features because of its roots. I liked it. I will look at the NixOS. Thanks for checking in! I will keep the background music comment in mind.
Nice clear presentation. I'm studying preferments right now though I have been baking bread for more than 50 years. I grew up in Downingtown and now live in New Mexico. I miss you guys.
Is the UI object naming (Button1, Button2, Button3, ...) still the same in the latest version of Netbeans?
Netbeans still defaults to jButton1, jButton2, jButton3, etc in version 20 (current version as of this date). The declarations still occur at the end of the code. I did not see any real difference in the latest version. Did you have a specific case where it was different?
@@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 Thank you for your reply. I'm new to Netbeans and Eclipse IDE. As you mentioned, Netbeans is easier for new users. I'm confused on Eclipse as to which file to download, there are so many, I don't even know what to call it, packages? LOL Thanks again for your video. It's helpful!
I just install variety and it has Bing wallpaper of the day as one of the entries and I can set it up on any distro using variety.
I was not aware of this! I will have to look into it!
how do I find out the user and group if I'm working on mac?
So sorry I did not see this immediately. On Mac open your application folder (should be from your Go menu at the top of the desktop). Once you application folder open, it should list all the applications installed on your Mac - but there will be a few folders as well. If you have installed XAMPP, there will be a folder named XAMPP. Open that folder and look in subfolder ETC. the httpd.conf file should be there.
Let me know if the solution I gave didn't work. I wrote it from memory - I didn't boot up my Mac to look! LOL.

So underrated Chanel!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoy your stay at Bytes, Bread, and Barbecue!
Looks amazing! Enjoyed your explanations of how to handle the dough and how the gluten process works. I love making bread/baked goods made with bread dough but usually leave the dough part up to my fancy bread machine because it’s so intimidating. Maybe it’s time to give it a try without the machine!
Torry, I have used the machines in the past. I think it is actually more fun to make it by hand and it really doesn't take any longer! You literally get a feel for the dough!
You're very kind, but the organization of GIMP's interface is a real mess and doesn't make you want to use it..
Point taken. I think it is really whatever you get used to. Admittedly I have not done much with Photoshop, but I think the interfaces are fairly similar: Layers, selection, subtraction, inversion, etc. I think with a little effort GIMP becomes a real FREE alternative.
Nice tutorial :))
Thanks!
Can i use it make posters or logos?
Absolutely! Check out ua-cam.com/video/qCaTXvJE4X8/v-deo.html
I've tried a number of different launchers. I rate them as: Microsoft Launcher > Amazon Fire Launcher > Nova Launcher. 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..
I had not considered it from that perspective. My biggest issue is if the device is powered down, the launcher becomes an application - not a true launcher. There should be a way to completely replace the default launcher. I thought somewhere in the past I had seen such a process, but I have not been able to locate it since.
@@bytesbreadandbarbecue6747 There was a way to completely to disable and replace the Fire launcher, but amazon patched it in their update and now you can't do that anymore.
Thank you mate, im glad to see this. Great job! Keepitcoming!
Thanks. I teach Computer Science in a high school. I'm always looking for good comparisons that will help me explain the differences between software tools. This is an excellent job of keeping it simple and still pointing out the most important facts.
Which has better refactoring and debugging tools?
I feel they are equal; however, I prefer Netbeans. I feel it is easier to develop and debug for beginners. Having said that, I will tell you most people use Eclipse with various add ons. It seems to be the industry standard and does stick closer to traditional Java programming patterns. For example: Eclipse puts all variables and declarations at the beginning. Netbeans puts all declarations and objects at the end of the code. Just little things like that.

Thanks!

Hm, not bad.. so far I tried Ubuntu but I don't really like Ubuntu's GNOME implementation (I'm coming from a hardcore Windows10 background where I use a LOT of macros with AutoHotKey to increase productivity)... I found that Zorin OS works better for me, but it is based on old Gnome 3 and Ubuntu 20.04, so I don't get all the new features... maybe I should give KDE (Kubuntu) a try?
If you are coming from "hardcore Windows 10 background", have you considered Linux Mint? It has the look and feel of Windows 10 but is basically running Ubuntu/Debian system under the hood. The interface has a "Mint Button" in the lower left corner and the menus are very Windows 10 like. It is a solid version of Linux and one of the most popular. I reviewed several flavors of Linux in my video "What is Linux". ua-cam.com/video/cE8vs3APMvs/v-deo.html
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!
Ross, looks delicious!! I might even try this one out myself! Diana

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!
