Hi Aitor, Your subject intrigues me. There are 2 reasons I prefer LXDE to Xfce: 1) LXDE is much lighter 2) LXDE is more reliable If you can really lighten up Xfce, that addresses #1, and probably to some extent alleviates #2. I believe lighter usually corresponds to less bugs, or else I'd be using Redhat. Or Windows. You mention alsa-oss and remind me of a goal in the back of my mind. Once, with Manjaro-OpenRC, I managed to make a computer with no PulseAudio (of course) and even no ALSA. It used OSS, and functioned beautifully: mplayer, smplayer, youtube, it was all perfect. No dbus need apply. I had to install an OSS compatible mixer, but that wasn't hard. I've never been able to do that again, and think it would be a cool option for those who want to keep entanglement to a minimum.
