| Xfce can be installed in at least two different ways: | Xfce can be installed either from the package manager of your distro or [[https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/building|from the source code]]. Installing via a package manager is preferred as it allows you to easily go back if the Xfce environment is not for you. Building from the source code allows you to try out the latest features that may be unstable for daily use. |
| * From the package manager of your distro. This is the preferred way as you can easily go back if the Xfce environment is not for you. | |
