23. Why LXDE
There are already numerous good Linux desktop environments like
KDE, GNOME, XFCE on the market.
None of these is adapted and customized for the smaller low
cost devices as LXDE.
24. International Development
LXDE involves people from several countries in Asia (Taiwan,
Hong Kong, China, India)
in Europe (Germany, Italy, France)
in North America (US)
Because of this diverse background of developers,
multi-language support has always been a key feature of LXDE.
25. LXDE is Green
LXDE saves energy.
LXDE prolongs the life cycle of hardware. Older Hardware can be
used longer.
26. How does LXDE do the magic
1. LXDE team submitted patches to GTK+2.6+ toolkit.
2. GTK is commonly used in many Gnu/Linux distributions and
allows applications to run on different plattforms.
3. LXDE optimizes functions of GTK for faster performance.
4. LXDE applications are extensively tested and tweaked to
increase performance.
27. Using gtk an advantage
By using GTK applications running on distributions using GTK,
like Debian or Ubuntu, can be installed in a system using the LX
desktop environment.
