Thanks for the follow up. Most of my machines have 2GB RAM. I didn't realize it, but when I ran free -m, I found there is only 1GB on this machine. I think you're right. Feature/bloat creep? thanks, john On 09/06/2017 02:00 PM, Victor Forberger wrote: On 09/04/2017 12:42 PM, Ian Prideaux

You are opening so many topics. First, my top is version 3.3.10 Now, there are no 'thunar' lines in my top display. This happened in the past. I have no delay now. By the way, you mentioned xfce4 being bloated. The reason I run xubuntu is, after some research, it is a lot smaller than gnome.
