XFCE 4.18 Released

I had to abandon XFCE due to some issue with aging XFCE4 libraries and high cpu problems, switched to KDE Plasma 5.x,. got 50% longer battery lifetime and havent looked back.

They need to focus on these kinds of problems, not on adding new features, otherwise I would have stayed.

what about a DE's libraries would make it drain so much battery life?

Does xfce do a lot of the graphics in software? That is very inefficient on modern hardware.

I have no idea, I was asking because it's not something I know enough about.
