I miss the old days running Lubuntu with LXDE (old one, not LXQT), a lite desktop environment on stable linux distribution, nowadays most distributions require 4GB of RAM, any GNOME/KDE plasma environment consumes ~1.5GB of RAM, LXDE/QT or IceWM became clunky/clumsy, XFCE not support tiling natively, Zorin Lite was deprecated and not support arm64, also don't wanna go full on tiling environments using sway or hyprland...
update migrated to FreeBSD
expectations
- <1GB memory footprint
- tiling support
- dark/light theme
- familiar UI/shortcuts etc (from win/macos ux)
requirements
- FreeBSD last production release (tested on 14.4 and 15)
- amd64 or aarch64 device
- 2GB of RAM
- 6GB of disk space
- Web browser: LibreWolf
- Mail Reader: Geary
- Image Viewer: Eye
- Media Player: mpv
- Text Editor: Pluma
- Terninal: MATE Terminal
- File Manager: Caja
- Calculator: MATE Calc
- Doc Viewer: Atril
- Word Processor: AbiWord
- Spreadsheet: Gnumeric
Just install freebsd as usual and add a standard user (default uid), then after first reboot run as root:
