Hello Everyone,
I'd installed Debian XFCE but it is showing problems. When I login it shows no previous running instance of panel found.
So I installed LXDE as well from synaptic. I like it more than XFCE(Simpler, Faster much faster and my pc is old).
So I want to safely remove XFCE and keep LXDE. How exactly do I do that?
Does it slow PC performance if I have 2 Desktop Environments at the same time?
If not, I can maybe keep both.

No, it should not as only one DE is loaded when you log in.sayansg wrote: Does it slow PC performance if I have 2 Desktop Environments at the same time?
Having two DEs should only use more storage.

Thanks for explaining. I think I'll keep both XFCE and LXDE for now.
