  • Xfce

    I’ve daily driven every major DE except KDE (GNOME, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon) and I always ended up switching back to xfce. I’m not a fan of GNOME’s workflow and since it’s not that customizable without extensions, that made me switch from it very quickly. I used Cinnamon on Mint for a few months and while the experience was mostly fine, it sometimes felt a bit laggy. As for MATE, while I love the GNOME 2 layout and it’s a relatively lightweight DE, I encountered plenty of visual bugs there and I could very easily replicate that GNOME 2 layout on Xfce (without a system menu, but still).






  • Xonotic.

    Great arena shooter all around even excluding the fact that’s FOSS. Used to play it with a 2012 Intel i5 and HD 2500 integrated graphics on 1080p medium settings and was averaging around 80-90 FPS on default maps.

    Now I don’t know what kind of GPU do you have, but I bet that it would probably just fine on low settings and maybe at a lower resolution.

    Another thing worth mentioning is that you may have trouble finding populated games with good ping if you live outside of Europe.
