No, I'm coming from the other way - if I have 6700k OC'ed to 4.6Ghz, 32GBs of RAM and an SSD, i want all these basic apps to show up instantaneously. I think I've payed enough money for this kind of experience not to suck.

Also time matters for me because I am mostly using my keyboard, chaining commands, so I start imputing stuff right after I open it and if those commands are missed because the application is still loading it sucks.

LOL!!!

Fair enough!!!

Have you tried PCmanFM and LXQt? I think you'll be pleased

I've tried XFCE and thunar(both of which are incredibly fast and I loved them), but I've switched to KDE this year because there was always one annoying bug (last one was with large screenshots https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20674473 ). I've also tried LXDE but the window manager seemed very basic compared to XFCE, but I haven't tried LXQT.

I'll do another set of tests once Ubuntu (or rather PopOS) 20.04 LTS releases.

Let me suggest you to, when you do try Lubuntu with LXQt, use kwin as the WM.

It's very lite (you won't notice the difference when compared to openbox) and it's feature full/very powerful.

LXQt devs have mentioned they will probably migrate to kwin when Wayland arrives for good.

(and forget lxde. LXQt is the future ;)
