For some reason my TV could only do 30hz with XFCE but 60hz with GNOME. I never figured out why. If anyone has the answers, feel free to share. I just gave up and used GNOME lol.
I did xfce for a long time and really enjoyed it. Then I did some hopping to try out tiling, and found paperwm. For me, its just a much better experiance for the way I work
