   XFCE Corebootbook, almost, but not quite

   In which, I attempt to use XFCE on former Chromebook hardware and find a showstopping bug.
   
   Mentioned @chaslinux in the blog post, as he inspired me to give XFCE a try. I do plan on doing more with XFCE, but it didn't work out for this project.

     Good to know, as Devuan is now my first choice for my own desktops and servers.
     
     How long have you used XFCE?
     
     Besides the Chromebook keyboard screen brightness keys not working, I think it would have been a great fit on a corebootbook as it needs less processor and memory than Cinnamon. Those keys not working were a showstopper for me right now, though.
